What Does FFF Stand For?

FFF stands for Field Flow Fractionation

Field Flow Fractionation (FFF) is a unique separation technique used in analytical and preparative applications to fractionate particles based on their size and shape under the influence of an external field. This method utilizes various driving forces, such as hydrodynamic, electric, or magnetic fields, to separate complex mixtures, including polymers, colloids, and nanoparticles. FFF is characterized by its ability to analyze samples in a gentle manner, preserving their native structure and properties, making it invaluable in fields such as chemistry, material science, and biomedicine.
