Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since their first application in 1967 literature (S.J. Updike, G.P. Hicks; The enzyme electrode; Nature 214 (1967) 986–988), electrochemical biosensors continued to evolve in novel directions with the aim of meeting the analytical requirements of a promptly mutable R&D. This is owed to the enormous advances achieved in nanotechnology, material science, screen-printing, ink-jet, 3D printing, nanomaterials, microfluidic, and ICT, which prompted electrochemical biosensor technology to deliver ever smarter and custom-made devises for both precise analysis agro-environmental and personalised medicine.
However, there is still a manifested need for robust and suitable biosensors for commercial applications, despite the emerging technologies that are fuelling novel discoveries and fostering the design of new tools tailored on detailed analytical requirements.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect recent research efforts about the design of electrochemical biosensors. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Enzyme-based biosensors
- Immunosensors
- DNA–RNA based sensors
- Cell-based biosensors
- Nanomaterial-based biosensors
- Label free biosensors

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. Chemosensors 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.
