The performance of thin (down to 71 mu m thick) flow field-flow fractionation (flow FFF) channels was examined at both high channel Bow-rates (up to similar to 47 ml/min) and cross flow-rates (up to similar to 11 ml/min). High levels of retention were observed, suggestive of good performance characteristics. Supporting this expectation, four sizes (0.04-0.30 mu m) of polystyrene latex microbeads were baseline separated in under 3 min. Nonetheless, a plate height analysis showed that performance was still less than theoretically expected.Fast steric-hyperlayer separations of larger latex beads were observed in the same systems. Furthermore, it was shown that the steric inversion diameter was shifted down to similar to 0.23 mu m, thus expanding the size range to which this FFF mode is applicable. The steric inversion phenomenon observed using narrow latex standards was shown to be consistent with that found for a polydisperse polyvinylchloride latex.
