About this Research Topic
Currently, detection and identification of microorganism is a challenging task. Electrochemical bioplatforms offer multiple advantages over conventional analytical techniques, including having good selectivity, specificity and sensitivity as well as portability, miniaturization and on-site monitoring, making possible their use as point-of-care testing devices (POCT). Moreover, electrochemical sensing platforms are being developed as suitable tools for different applications, including bioprocess control, food quality and in agriculture, military and medical applications, generally with minimum sample pre-treatment.
The aim of this Research Topic is to put together scientific knowledge and experience on the most recent approaches to perform innovative and enhanced electrochemical sensing technology in the employment or determination of microorganisms and/or enzymes.
The scope of this Research topic is divided into:
‐ Electrochemical devices in agriculture
‐ Electrochemical devices for food safety
‐ Electrochemical devices for food for quality assurance
‐ Electrochemical devices for pharmaceutical applications
‐ Electrochemical devices for medical applications
The expected manuscript types include perspectives, opinion papers, review papers, and original research articles on the topic of “Advances in Electrochemical sensing and biosensing technology based on the use and/or detection of substances of agriculture, food or pharmaceutical interest.” Papers in this collection will provide the reader with a holistic overview of this new topic.
