Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biosensors are valuable tools for chemical and biological molecule detection, extensively used in environmental monitoring, food safety, biochemical analysis, disease diagnosis and public safety. In recent decades, the introduction of nanomaterials with outstanding physical and chemical properties has promoted the rapid development of biosensors such as carbon nanotubes, noble metallic nanoparticles, metal oxides, graphene, and two-dimensional transition metal chalcogenides. A popular method of further improving the analytical performance of biosensors is the formation of nanocomposites via hybridizing functional groups with nanomaterials. Functional nanomaterials coupled with electrochemistry, fluorescence, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, field effect transistors, and colorimetry methods have been proven to be a promising sensing platform for nucleic acids, proteins, cancerous cells, and small biological molecule detection in vitro and in vivo. This Special Issue welcomes original research works and high-quality reviews focusing on the following topics related to nanomaterials-based biosensors coupled with different detection techniques for biochemical analysis and disease diagnosis:
- Novel nanomaterials developed to construct high-performance biosensors;
- The performance of biosensors improved by new strategies and new analytical methods;
- Detection of environmental pollutions;
- Detection of biomarkers, including small biomolecules, nucleic acids, proteins, cells;
- Detection of bacterial, viruses;
- Detection of antibiotic, drug residue;
- Detection of other biomolecules;
- Development of devices for biosensing.

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.
