Panelists offer a realistic outlook for FFF, with miniaturization and emerging application areas seen as future directions.

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.
