The CF2000 Centrifugal Field Flow Fractionation (CF3) system from Postnova Analytics sets a new standard for high resolution separation and fractionation of nanoparticles.
Based on the CF3 principle, the Postnova CF2000 employs a centrifugal field as the driving force for separations. Particles affected by this field are separated by dynamic diffusion on the basis of both particle size and density. This unique feature of the CF2000 allows the separation of different particulate materials having the same particle size. Separations on the CF2000 can be further optimized by using different eluents and temperature...
