Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Trace elements play important roles in the environmental and biological sciences. The determination of trace elements in biological and environmental samples is necessary because they play crucial roles in human life. Several analytical techniques, including voltammetry, atomic absorption spectroscopy, atomic fluorescence spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, can be used to measure trace elements in biological, environmental, and food samples. Recently, microscale methods coupled with nano-sized materials and three-dimensional printing devices have been developed to detect trace elements. This Special issue aims to attract contributions, original research papers, as well as review articles on any topics related to techniques for trace element determination and their applications.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
