Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in microfluidics are revolutionizing life sciences and (bio)chemistry. Microfluidics enable environmental control in miniaturized reaction spaces and can be used for massively parallelized or accelerated analyses. Nonetheless, the application of microfluidics is often limited by analytical capabilities for detecting and quantifying analytes with the necessary sensitivity, specificity, and selectivity. Novel and innovative in situ approaches for the multimodal sensing of biological and chemical processes in the microspace are now emerging to keep pace with the rapid developments in microfluidics.
The applications of microspace sensing are numerous and encompass all classes of natural and synthetic molecules, such as cellular biomolecules and catalytic products. As their most important features, microspace probes and sensors should be integrable into microfluidics and respond in a specific and quantitative manner to target analyte concentrations and their dynamics.
The Special Issue aims to collect recent findings and advances in the quantitative sensing of analytes in microfluidic reaction environments. Researchers are invited to contribute research and review articles, as well as short communications, encompassing the broad range of disciplines from life sciences to chemistry.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
