The global food processing industry is increasingly dependent on separation, filtration and purification equipment. Used to help preserve the quality of food and extend shelf life, these elements are ...

A microfluidic approach combines electric slip and viscoelastic forces to sort nanoscale particles, increasing the purity of synthetic beads and cell vesicles. (Nanowerk News) Separating nanosized ...

In nanoscale particle research, precise control and separation have long been a bottleneck in biotechnology. Researchers at the University of Oulu have now developed a new method that improves ...

Tangential flow filtration (TFF) has revolutionized biomolecule separation and purification across life science fields, including immunology, protein chemistry and molecular biology. However, ...

One of the most important applications of nanoporous thin films is in gas separation, where they are used to selectively filter out different gases from a mixture based on their molecular size, shape, ...

Nanomembranes are a type of nanomaterial with ultra-thin structures at the nanometer scale and lateral dimensions that can extend to millimeters or even centimeters. These membranes are strong enough ...

When the components in the mixture of solutions are moved forward in the mobile phase by the material moving the sample, these components pass through the stationary phase. The difference in size and ...

Researchers have developed a new chemical separation method that is vastly more efficient than conventional processes, opening the door to faster discovery of new elements, easier nuclear fuel ...
