Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite contributions to this Special Issue concerning “Nanomaterial-Based Biosensors for Point-of-Care Testing”. In healthcare diagnostics, we have seen growing demand for rapid, precise, and easily accessible testing methods. As a result, nanomaterial-based biosensors have emerged as a promising technology. Developing nanomaterial-based biosensors can revolutionize healthcare diagnostics by enabling earlier disease detection, facilitating more targeted treatments, and reducing healthcare costs. The integration of nanomaterials allows for the miniaturization and portability of biosensor devices, making them well suited to point-of-care settings.
This Special Issue will explore the transformative impact of various nanomaterials, including gold and silver nanoparticles, quantum dots, and carbon nanomaterials, on point-of-care testing (POCT). This Special Issue will also explore various readout modalities that complement nanomaterial-based biosensors, including fluorescence, surface plasmon resonance, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, and electrochemical, piezoelectric, magnetic, thermal, and colorimetric detection.
This Special Issue "Nanomaterial-Based Biosensors for Point-of-Care Testing" will provide a comprehensive overview of recent state-of-the-art trends in this rapidly evolving field. In bringing together cutting-edge research and innovative technologies, we will highlight the tremendous potential of nanomaterials to revolutionize POCT and advance personalized healthcare.

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. Biosensors 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 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.
