Through the cross-flow larger particles accumulate at the channel bottom while smaller particles accumulate at the center of the channel. The injected particles can be eluted through a parabolic flow-profile in combination with the reduction of the crossflow. | ||

In centrifugal FFF the separation force is realised via an centrifugal field. Through the induced gravitational field larger particles accumulate at the channel bottom while smaller particles accumulate at the center of the channel. The injected particles can be eluted through a parabolic flow-profile in combination with the reduction of the centrigigal field. | |||
