About this Research Topic
Recently, rapid advancements have been observed in Chemistry in various areas, including disease diagnosis, agriculture, food safety, and environmental monitoring. Biosensing detection, molecular diagnostics, wearable sensors, digital health, and artificial intelligence strategies, especially integration with nanomaterials and functional nucleic acids, have shown lower detection costs and times, higher sensitivity and specificity, and more distinguished compatibility to portable platforms.
Biosensors and chemistry are defined as analytical methods and devices including a biological material or biologically derived material, which may be optical, electrochemical, thermometric, magnetic or micromechanical. Biosensors and chemistry based diagnostics have rapid advancements in various areas, including disease diagnosis, agriculture, food safety, and environmental monitoring. It is an interdisciplinary journal serving professionals with an interest in the exploitation of biological materials and designs in novel diagnostic and devices including nucleic acid detection, molecular diagnostics, nanotechnology, microfluidics and portable platforms. Biosensors and chemistry usually can make qualitative and quantitative detection, while they can be developed to make single measurements to meet specific market requirements. Biosensors and chemistry have shown faster speed, lower cost, higher sensitivity and specificity, and more distinguished compatibility to practical applications. Notably, as an emerging field, the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-based technique has become an immensely effective tool in chemistry and biosensors based diagnostics.
Therefore, this Research Topic aims to bring together original research and review articles regarding recent advances, technologies, solutions, applications, and new challenges in the field of novel chemistry and biosensors based diagnostics. Areas to be covered in this Research Topic may include, but not limited to:
• Nanomaterial for chemical and biochemical testing
