The opposed flow sample concentration (OFSC) method is employed, where particles are focused into a narrow band near the inlet of the flow FFF channel by two incoming flow-streams through the inlet and the outlet of the channel. There is no need for stopping the flow for the sample relaxation, which is usually required in conventional Flow FFF operations. The OFSC procedure is optimized for analysis of ground water particulates with respect to various experimental parameters including sample introduction, flow rates, etc. The effectiveness in concentration and characterization of the OFSC-flow FFF was demonstrated with various mixtures of polystyrene latex spheres. Ground water of upto 100mL has been successfully loaded, concentrated, and characterized by OFSC-flow FFF. The OFSC technique makes the application of flow FFF possible for separation and characterization of particles in very low-concentrations. The results show the potential of (OFSC)-Flow FFF. OFSC-flow FFF provides a simplified alternative to existing off-line concentration procedures, and shows high potential for application to analysis of dilute particles in environmental water.
