Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microfluidic bioseparation focuses on the separation and purification of biological target components from a biological sample, and it is usually integrated with a bioassay, which involves the detection and quantification of specific analytes in a sample using miniaturized fluidic devices and techniques. Microfluidic bioseparation techniques have become increasingly vital in the field of bioanalysis and biomedical research due to the several key advantages and applications they offer; they are able to miniaturize and integrate complex bioanalytical workflows into a single device, enhance the sensitivity and throughput, and reduce the analysis time and cost. They therefore enable automation and the performance of high-throughput bioassay with multifunctionality and versatility for point-of-care and field applications relevant to drug discovery, genomics, proteomics, and clinical diagnostics. This Special Issue aims to address the recent progress in microfluidic bioseparation and integrated bioassay, welcoming original research articles, technical notes, and review articles. We hope to provide a collection of high-quality papers and a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in microfluidic bioseparation and bioassay.

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.
