“…Carrier fluids, pH, and salinity can be adjusted to match the required environment, while the separation device geometry allows for simultaneous filtration of ions and small molecules thus leading to the selective characterization of the colloidal particles [ 34 , 35 , 37 , 38 ]. Moreover, AF4 multi-detection platforms can include various detectors such as UV-Vis, fluorescence, and multi-angle light scattering (MALS) to provide sample composition and spectroscopic properties, monitor stability, and investigate aggregation and conjugate formation [ 39 , 40 , 41 ]. To date, AF4 has been employed on numerous samples such as biocompatible nanoparticles [ 42 , 43 ], plant-derived proteins, and biological samples in the native state [ 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 ].…”
