Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past two decades, microfluidic biosensors have emerged to revolutionize the way that traditional health monitoring is performed. Common themes with these devices are high resolution, small sample consumption, low cost, and rapid turnaround time. Despite showing considerable promise for emerging markets, the health monitoring industry is struggling with the mainstream adaptation of microfluidic biosensors. This Special Issue will highlight recent advances in developments as well as current barriers in the field. Interested authors are invited to submit their works on microfluidic biosensors for a wide range of health monitoring and biomedical applications. The scope of this Special Issue includes but is not limited to:
- Health monitoring of multiple physiological and metabolic indicators using microfluidic biosensors;
- Droplet, single-phase, discrete two-phase, and other microfluidic platforms;
- Electrochemical, electrical, optical, and mechanical sensor technologies;
- Integration of sensors with microfluidic systems;
- Application of alternative biofluids for sampling (breath, saliva, tear, urine, interstitial fluid);
- Simultaneous sensing of multiple physiological and metabolic indicators to obtain profiles;
- Low-cost fabrication of microfluidic platforms and sensors;
- Fundamental limitations to mainstream adaptation of point-of-care microfluidic devices.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
