Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bioanalysis and biosensors are ever-evolving subjects, striving for rapid improvement in terms of performance and expanding the target range to meet the enormous societal and market demands. The key performance factors for a biosensor that drive the research are sensitivity, selectivity, accuracy, reproducibility, and response time, with additional requirements of its portability and inexpensive nature. These performance factors are largely governed by the materials and techniques being used in these bioanalytical platforms. The selection of materials to meet these requirements is critical, as their interaction or involvement with the biological recognition elements should initiate or improve these performance factors. The technique discussed primarily applies to transducers involved in converting a biochemical signal to optical or electrical signals. In recent years, the emergence of novel materials and techniques has drastically improved the performance of these bioanalytical systems, enabling them to expand their analytical horizons. These advanced materials and techniques are central to modern bioanalytical and biosensor research. This Special Issue offers new perspectives on the recent advance in materials and techniques for bioanalysis and biosensing.
This Research Topic will accept submissions that cover areas including, but not limited to:
- Biosensing principles and strategies for various targets;
- Smart materials for biosensors and other rapid, portable detection devices;
- Nanozymes as potential catalysts for sensing applications;
- Electrochemical, electrochemiluminescence and photoelectrochemical-based biosensors;
- Colorimetric, fluorescence, luminescence, and SPR biosensors;
- Biological recognition and affinity-based biosensors;
- Paper electronics and paper-based biosensors;
- FET-based biosensors, including ISFET and BioFET;
- Emerging materials for bioanalysis and biosensing;
- New technologies for signal transducers.

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.
