Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microfluidics has shown its value in the application of bioparticle sorting for biology and medicine, such as the isolation of pathogens, proteins, exosomes, stem cells, circulating tumor cells, blood-cell sorting, and cancer stem-cell separation. This Special Issue emphasizes the manipulation of cells/particles at a micro/nano scale on a microfluidic platform. Submissions integrating modeling and experimentation are preferred.
Contribution may be in the form of (i) a research article with original results, or (ii) a critical review, which may also contain original results focusing on novel methodological developments and applications pertaining to cell manipulation at a micro and sub-micro scale. The subjects of the upcoming issue could include bioparticle manipulation using electric fields or any external forces such as inertia, and may also include, but are not limited to:
-Electrokinetics in microchannels and nanochannels;
-Dielectric spectroscopy;
-Traveling wave dielectrophoresis;
-Dielectrophoretic enrichment, separation, and manipulation;
-Inertial microfluidics;
-Biosensors integrated with microchips to manipulate bioparticles;
-AI/ML applications integrated with microchips to manipulate bioparticles.

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. Micromachines 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 2600 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.
