Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the need for accurate, real-time monitoring of environmental and food safety has become increasingly critical. The rise in global population, industrialization, and agricultural activities has led to heightened concerns about pollution, foodborne illnesses, and the integrity of our food supply chains. Traditional analytical methods, while effective, often fall short in providing the rapid and on-site analysis required to address these challenges promptly. Biosensors, which integrate biological recognition elements with physicochemical transducers, have emerged as powerful tools to meet these demands. Their unique ability to offer high sensitivity, specificity, and rapid response times makes them indispensable in detecting contaminants, pathogens, and other harmful agents in both environmental and food matrices. The aim of this Special Issue is to report on the developments and advances in biosensors to meet the needs of environmental and food analysis. For this Special Issue, we invite the submission of original research articles or reviews reporting on current advances in the design of various biosensors and their applications in environmental monitoring and food safety.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Innovative biosensor design and fabrication;
- The application of biosensors in environmental monitoring;
- The application of biosensors in food safety;
- Integration of biosensors and digital technology;
- Regulatory and practical considerations for biosensors.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at mdpi.longhoe.net 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. Biosensors 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.
