Field flow fractionation (FFF) is a family of techniques used for the separation of nanoparticles, proteins, DNA, viruses, and other materials based on size, charge, or other physical properties.  We have primarily explored how miniaturization effects these systems.  We have explored microscale electrical and thermal systems, as well as the SPLITT versions.  We are also developing techniques using cyclical fields for these systems.  Specific projects included in this area:  

bulletMicroscale Electrical FFF
bulletMicroscale Thermal FFF
bulletMicroscale Thermal Electrical FFF
bulletCyclical Electrical FFF
bulletMicroscale Electrical SPLITT
bulletReduction of End Effects in FFF

Note that the Center is organizing the 13th International Symposium on Field- and Flow- based Separations.
