Three cases are considered: no change in equilibrium surfacecoverage, a new equilibrium surface coverage reached, or a catas-trophic loss of adsorbed molecules. We introduce a new field-flowfractionation technique, whereby molecules are separated based ontheir differential interaction with optical electric fields, i.e. electric∗nial@kt.dtu.dk†clje@fotonik.dtu.dk‡kryv@fotonik.dtu.dk§teraoka@poly.edu¶namo@fotonik.dtu.dk‖oh@kt.dtu.dk1fields with frequencies in the visible and near-infrared range. Whensolute particles are introduced to electric field gradients they arepolarized based on their size and refractive index. The resultingattractive or repulsive polarization potential influences a soluteparticles lateral position with respect to the gradient in electricfield. By coupling well described optical electric fields with a non-uniform flow, we demonstrate how such potentials can be used tocontinuously separate nanometer scale solute particles in a flowingtwo dimensional microchannel. Comparisons are made for the-oretical axially uniform optical fields and numerical simulationsconsidering optical electric fields with finite width. We discuss theimpact of the governing dimensionless groups on separation reso-lution and resulting solute concentration distribution after separa-tion. An experimental apparatus is introduced and experimentalresults are put into the context of the theoretical results.2
