Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nano and Micro Biosensors are state-of-the-art analytical tools with many applications. They have gained the interest of scientists due to the unique characteristics of the micro-, and especially, nanomaterials used, providing signal enhancements and high sensitivity/detectability along with a rapid analysis time, cost effectiveness, simplicity in fabrication and use, portability and increased multiplexity. On the other hand, nucleic acids, DNA and RNA, are usually the preferred analytes due to their stability in diverse environmental conditions or during extensive processing. Thus, Nano and Micro DNA/RNA Biosensors are a valuable alternative to convention methods of nucleic acid analysis. Moreover, the use of micro- and nanomaterials enable the easy immobilization of various recognition biomolecules on the surface of biosensors for target analyses and interdisciplinary applications.
Both original research and review articles on novel systems or approaches to electrochemical DNA/RNA biosensors are welcome.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Innovative concepts in sensitive DNA/RNA detection;
- New materials and nanomaterials used in DNA/RNA Biosensor devices, e.g., Carbon nanotubes, graphene, nanoparticles, and other organic-based semiconductors;
- Devices and microfluidic systems, including electrochemical DNA/RNA biosensors;
- Electrochemical DNA/RNA detection analysis in situ and in vivo.

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.
