Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last several decades, electrochemical biosensors have been widely used in a variety of fields of biochemical analysis, clinical diagnostics, and environmental analysis because of their quick response time, simplicity, cost-effectiveness, sensitivity, and possibility for on-site field analysis. In addition, electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL), the light emission generated from luminophores via electron transfer processes, has become an attractive transduction platform that has received growing interest not only for chemical sensors, but also for biosensors because of its excellent sensitivity. In general, electrochemical and ECL-based biosensors use specific biological recognition elements such as enzymes, antibodies, and nucleic acids, which are immobilized on electrode surfaces to selectively recognize analytes. Therefore, this Special Issue of Sensors will cover current research topics in the electrochemical and ECL-based biosensors, aiming at discovering how they are fabricated and what merits they have for specific bioanalytical applications.
We welcome submissions that are related to electrochemical and ECL biosensors, for example, the development of highly sensitive electrochemical and ECL detection methods, new methods for immobilization of biological recognition elements onto electrode surfaces, and the wide range of new applications of electrochemical and ECL-based biosensors. Both research papers and review articles will be considered. We look forward to and welcome your participation in this Special Issue.
Prof. Dr. Wonyong Lee
Guest Editor
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.
