Welcome to FFF2022

It is our great pleasure to host the 22nd International Symposium on Field- and Flow-based Separations (FFF2022) in University of California, Riverside, CA, USA on September, 11-14th, 2022.

This symposium will showcase the cutting-edge research in field and flow-based separation by high-quality presentations and lively discussions. The main focus is on the new developments and applications in all forms of Field-Flow Fractionation (FFF) and the related field- and flow separation techniques, such as: SPLITT, nanoscale flow separations, and electro-, magnetic-, acoustic-, and dielectrophoretic-driven separations.

The symposium will be held on the campus of the University of California, Riverside. As a member of the world’s most prestigious public university system, UC Riverside is America’s fastest rising university residing in Riverside, the most populous city of the region of Inland Empire of Southern California, locating about 55 miles (89 km) east of downtown Los Angeles. Founded in the early 1870s, Riverside is the birthplace of the California citrus industry and home of the Mission Inn, the largest Mission Revival Style building in the US.

FFF2022 is chaired by Professor Wenwan Zhong (UC Riverside) and Dr. Wei Gao (Dow Chemical). Together with the Scientific Program Committee and the Local Organizing Committee, Wenwan and Wei sincerely invite you to participate in this event.

Call for Papers

The FFF 2022 Scientific Program Committee (SPC) would like to invite researchers from academia, industry, government, etc., working in areas relevant to flow- and field-based separations to submit papers to our symposium. Abstracts about separation method development, instrumentation advancement, and new applications of the relevant technologies are highly welcome.

Examples of areas of emphasis include, but are not limited to:

  • Quality assessment in development of biologic drugs and vaccines
  • Properties and transformation characterization
  • Analysis of smart and responsive materials; (sub) micro- and nano-plastics; polymers; nanomaterials; biomolecules & bioparticles, etc.
  • Separation and characterization of environmental particulates or macromolecules
  • Regulatory or standardization in pharmaceutics, food industry, consumer goods, etc.

We strive to organize an innovative and engaging meeting for the participants to present and discuss the cutting-edge scientific and technological advancements in the field. Our meeting will also showcase the latest instruments and organize educational workshops to provide training on method development; analysis of challenging samples; instrument maintenance, operation, troubleshooting, etc. Our ultimate goal is to provide a friendly platform for scientists with shared interest from all over the world to establish new connections, harvest new ideas, and learn about new developments in the field
