Separation technique to characterize the size of colloidal particles
Flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) channel cross section, where the velocity of laminar flow within the channel is not uniform. The fluid travels in a parabolic pattern with the velocity of the flow, increasing with the distance from the walls up towards the centre of the channel. Separation takes place close to the accumulation (bottom) wall of the channel
Field-flow fractionation, abbreviated FFF,[1] is a separation technique invented by J. Calvin Giddings. The technique is based on separation of colloidal or high molecular weight substances in liquid solutions, flowing through the separation platform, which does not have a stationary phase. It is similar to liquid chromatography, as it works on dilute solutions or suspensions of the solute, carried by a flowing eluent. Separation is achieved by applying a field (hydraulic, centrifugal,[2] thermal,[3] electric,[4] magnetic,[5] gravitational, ...) or cross-flow, perpendicular to the direction of transport of the sample, which is pumped through a long and narrow laminar channel. The field exerts a force on the sample components, concentrating them towards one of the channel walls, which is called accumulation wall.[6] The force interacts with a property of the sample, thereby the separation occurs, in other words, the components show differing "mobilities" under the force exerted by the crossing field. As an example, for the hydraulic, or cross-flow FFF method, the property driving separation is the translational diffusion coefficient or the hydrodynamic size. For a thermal field (heating one wall and cooling the other), it is the ratio of the thermal and the translational diffusion coefficient.
