What Does TFFF Stand For?

TFFF stands for Thermal Field Flow Fractionation

Thermal Field Flow Fractionation (TFFF) is a specialized technique used in analytical chemistry and materials science to separate and characterize particles based on their size and thermal properties. The method employs a thermal gradient to induce flow within a thin channel, allowing for the differential transport of particles. This enables researchers to obtain high-resolution separation of various materials such as polymers, colloids, and nanoparticles, facilitating detailed analysis of their size distribution and molecular weight. TFFF is particularly valuable in applications where traditional separation methods may be limited, offering enhanced sensitivity and efficiency.
