Abstract
Asymmetrical flow fieldβflow fractionation (AFlFFF) has been carried out in a miniaturized channel by reducing the channel dimensions. Performance of the miniaturized AFlFFF (mAFlFFF) channel was evaluated with standard proteins and polystyrene latex spheres from nanometer to micrometer size. By reducing the channel dimension, proteins or particulate materials can be separated within a few minutes without a significant loss in resolution. The mAFlFFF channel was applied for the separation of exosomes harvested from immortalized human mesenchymal stem cell line. It shows a potential to fractionate exosome vesicles according to sizes which can be useful for proteomic studies in relation to immunotherapeutic applications.

An overview is given of the recent literature on (bio) analytical applications of flow field-flow fractionation (FlFFF). FlFFF is a liquid-phase separation technique that can separate macromolecules and particles according to size. The technique is increasingly used on a routine basis in a variety o
Asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation AsFlFFF is used to measure the size distributions of humic acids in solution. Shifts in the size distribution are used to study the behavior of these amphiphilic macromolecules in solution with changes in pH, ionic strength, and humic acid concentration. Hu
## A theoretical analysis is presented of the motion and spreading of a probe containing particles in a transversal potential field. This arises in the vicinity of the flat channel walls as a laminar flow of carrier fluid moves in the channel. Parameters that characterize the process of fractionat
