Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dielectrophoresis (DEP) remains an effective technique for rapid and label-free identification of targeted bioparticles. Applications are numerous, ranging from clinical diagnostics and therapeutics to advanced manufacturing of microstructures. This Special Issue emphasizes applications towards disease diagnostics that utilizes electrokinetics to manipulate and characterize infected bioparticles ranging from cells to proteins. Submissions integrating modeling and experimentation are encouraged.
The contribution may be (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 disease diagnostics in micro and sub-micro scale. The particular subjects of the upcoming issue focus on disease diagnosis using any of these technologies listed below on a microfluidic platform:
- Electrokinetics in microchannels and nanochannels;
- Dielectrophoretic separation and manipulation;
- Inertial microfluidics;
- Field flow fractionation.

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.
