Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rapid screening is becoming an urgent need in life science. Efficient and cost-effective devices for fast identification of viral or bacterial fingerprints are crucial for the restoration of normal daily activities during and after the pandemic. Besides, monitoring of pharmacological treatments is of utmost importance in long-term healthcare and in preventing infections (such as sepsis or in the treatment of chronic wounds).
Sensing allergens, pathogens and contaminants fulfills a key role in food safety.
Photonics and plasmonics can support the development of integrated platforms enjoying the appropriate accuracy and complying with the design of compact, portable and easy-to-use devices for biosensors and biomarker recognition with fast response.

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. Sensors 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 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.
