Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in the design of microelectrode arrays allow for the possibility of developing devices capable of multiplexed biomarker assays under clinical conditions. The advent of the relatively new strategy of precision medicine, which involves biomarker detection for patient disease monitoring and treatment, requires the concomitant assay of several analytes. The microelectrode array configuration offers such an opportunity to measure the concentration of species both in vitro and, potentially, in vivo. In order to achieve these goals, the technology requires that probes for various species of interest are attached to electrodes in the array. Further, it is necessary that the interaction of probes with analytics in clinical samples be interrogated via an electrochemical methodology. An additional requirement is that each electrode of the array must be capable of avoiding the interfering effects associated with non-specific adsorption in, for example, serum. Advances with respect to these criteria render the microelectrode array a unique and exciting technology for application in the field of precision medicine.

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.
