The asymmetric flow FFF (AF4) is realised in a separation channel where an separation force ist generated in form of an asymmetric  crossflow through a semipermeable membrane. Through the cross-flow larger particles accumulate at the channel bottom while smaller particles accumulate more at the upper part induced by diffusion. The injected particles can be eluted through a parabolic flow-profile in combination with the reduction of the crossflow.
