Biopharma, Nanoplastics, and the Next FFF Frontier

Panelists identify biopharma and environmental nanoplastics analysis as the most significant emerging drivers of FFF development.

Field-flow fractionation (FFF) has come a long way since its origins in the late 1960s. Once reliant on hand-built channels and lab-customized components, the technique has matured into a commercially available, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-compatible analytical platform, and its community of practitioners is growing with it. In this panel discussion, four leading FFF experts share their perspectives on where the technique stands today and where it is headed.
