CF2000 Centrifugal FFF - Particle Separator
Description
Postnova Analytics
The most Advanced System for High Resolution Separation and Fractionation of Nanoparticles!
Principle and Advantages of CF3
The new advanced Postnova CF2000 Series was developed to become the first professional modular Centrifugal FFF system available. It is completely controlled by the NovaFFF single software platform which runs the entire system from autosampler to detectors. The CF2000 Centrifugal FFF incorporates the combined proven know-how and the technologies from three decades of leadership in FFF. Due to its unique design, the CF2000 Centrifugal FFF system offers more flexibility, higher robustness and better performance than traditional particle sizer systems. The CF2000 allows high resolution particle separation and sizing at the same time and consequently sets a complete new standard and offers a real alternative to traditional particle characterization techniques.

CF2000 - Unique Worldwide
High Resolution Separations
Centrifugal FFF differentiates itself from the various particle size analyzers which are available on the market because of its ability to deliver true high resolution particle size separations. Centrifugal FFF uses no assumptions or algorithms but just separates the single particles fractions with extremely high resolution.
Broad Separation Size Range
The CF2000 technology allows separation of small, medium and large particles at the same time in just one analysis and avoids the discrimination of smaller particles by larges species which is often a limitation in light scattering based techniques.
Separation under Native Conditions
Using the unique unpacked and open Centrifugal FFF channel allows the user to employ “any” kind of eluent which is ideally suited for the sample particles. Kinetics and behavior of particles under certain conditions, such as pH, ionic strength, etc., can be investigated easily by using the CF2000 system.
Separation of same Size Particles
Because Centrifugal FFF separates by size and density, it is possible to distinguish particles of the same size which have different chemical compositions and structures.
Flexibility & Interfaceability
The CF2000 Series was developed to be used as a modular FFF system which can be interfaced with existing other detection systems, such as UV, DLS, MALS, SAXS. This way, Centrifugal FFF can be used as a high resolution size fractionation system which then can be combined on- or offline with high resolution detection systems that provide an ultimate 2D view of any sample system.
