Special Issue Information
Recent advances in microfluidic cell detection and sorting techniques have enabled biologists to gain invaluable insight into biological functions associated with cell heterogeneity. Applications of these techniques include cancer research, directed evolution studies, environmental sampling, personalised medicine, drinking water monitoring and more. Even though there are powerful cell detection and sorting techniques, such as fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS), they have their limitations. Therefore, there is a strong need for specialised cell detection and sorting techniques.
Lately, it has become significantly harder to communicate pure engineering studies in this field. Such studies may include reporting a new on-chip detection technique or describing a novel sorting technique with advantages over its counterparts. This Special Issue aims to collate such studies to disseminate this research and attract wider attention. You are cordially invited to submit research papers, short communications, and review articles to this Special Issue in Micromachines titled “Microfluidics for Cell Detection and Sorting”.

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.
