Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to submit to this Special Issue of Micromachines focused on "Electrochemical biosensors". The electrochemical biosensors provide an attractive means to analyze the content of a biological sample due to the direct conversion of a biological event to an electronic signal. Compared to other analytical techniques, electrochemical biosensors are cost-effective, consume only a small amount of time and offer rapid detection. In addition, the design/fabrication of electrodes is one of the key components in this type of sensor. In recent years, the popularity of nanoscale fabrication, including nanomaterials, composite materials, biopolymers, and conducting polymers for electrochemical biosensor has been increasing. However, the interference influencing the biomolecular interaction from real samples remains the great challenge. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to provide recent advances and results in selective, accurate and cost-effective electrochemical biosensors.

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.
