Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With technological advancements, sensors have become indispensable tools in various industries, enabling us to monitor, analyse, and diagnose with unprecedented precision and efficiency. This Special Issue showcases the latest research and developments in sensor technology and its applications in food testing, environmental analyses, and medical diagnostics.
Food Testing with Sensors
In the food industry, sensors play crucial roles in ensuring product safety, quality, and authenticity. Sensors can be used to detect contaminants, allergens, pathogens, and other potential hazards, as well as to monitor freshness, ripeness, and nutritional value. Advances in (bio)sensor technology, nanomaterials, and smart sensors have enabled faster and more reliable food testing, enabling real-time monitoring and early warning systems.
Environmental Analyses with Sensors
Environmental sensors are indispensable in monitoring air, water, and soil quality. They can detect pollutants, toxins, greenhouse gases, and other harmful substances, providing important data for environmental protection and risk assessment.
Medical Diagnostics with Sensors
In the field of medical diagnostics, sensors are used to detect biological active compounds, disease biomarkers, and other biological indicators, as do modern healthcare devices. Biosensors, electrochemical sensors, and optical sensors are some of the most commonly used technologies for rapid, point-of-care testing. These sensors can be integrated into wearable devices, smartphones, and other portable platforms, making diagnostic testing more accessible and convenient for patients.
We invite researchers, engineers, and practitioners from these fields to contribute their work and share their insights.

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.
