Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to their inherent analytical performance characteristics, electrochemical sensors have attracted increasing attention in recent years, being used as detection tools in various applications, with an important role being played in biological applications. Various electrode materials as well as methods and compounds have been developed for modifying the sensor surfaces, coupled with appropriate electrochemical techniques, to ensure the sensitivity and selectivity of the sensors, making them suitable for the detection of analytes from complex matrices such as pharmaceuticals, biological fluids, and food or environmental samples. On the other hand, as they can be miniaturized and employed in portable instruments, sometimes as disposable electrodes, they are easy-to-use and cost-effective analytical devices enabling on-site, real time, on-line and in-line analysis. Considering all these aspects, electrochemical sensors are often the best choice for the rapid and simple detection of various biological active compounds from different matrices. Consequently, the purpose of this Special Issue, entitled “Electrochemical Sensors in Biological Applications”, is to present research papers and review articles that highlight both the current state of research and the latest developments in the field of electrochemical sensors used to detect biological important analytes or to explore their function in biological systems based on their redox behavior.

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.
