Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microfluidic technology platforms enable the miniaturization and integration of various laboratory functions, offering significant advantages such as reduced sample consumption, enhanced sensitivity, rapid analysis, and portability. The unique phenomena at the small scale of microfluidic technology have generated exciting research and enabled the development of practical applications in recent years. Thus, the use of microfluidic components in biological and medical research has increased, becoming a widely adopted tool. In this Special Issue, we seek research and review articles that highlight recent advances in the application of microfluidic technology, demonstrating its potential impact on detection and diagnostics in biology and medicine. Microfluidic-based devices may also include microfluidic chips, microfluidic paper-based devices, and lab-on-a-chip, lab-on-paper, paper-strips, point-of-care devices. In addition, practical microfluidic technology platforms that exhibit the ability to solve real-world problems are of particular interest.

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. Micromachines 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 2600 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.
