Abstract
A long, thin annular belt-like channel is designed for use in sedimentation field flow fractionation. This channel, which may be contained in the rotor of a centrifuge, has a generally rectangular cross-section. It has an inlet positioned to introduce particulates (includes particles and/or macromolecules) approximately at the radial distance from the outer wall that is the equilibrium distance resulting from the average force field exerted on each particulate by the centrifugal force field and by the opposing normal diffusion forces due to Brownian motion. An outlet for the channel is similarly located. A modified design tapers the inlet and outlet.
