Abstract A size separation method was developed foraqueous C6o fullerene aggregates (aqu/C60)using asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation(AF4) coupled to a dynamic light scattering(DLS) detector in flow through mode.Surfactants, which are commonly used inAF4, were avoided as they may altersuspension characteristics. Aqu/Csoaggregates generated by sonication indeionized water ranged in hydrodynamicdiameter (D,) from 80-260 nm as determinedby DLS in flow through mode. Sizeobservations were confirmed by DLS (batchmode) and TEM techniques. The mass ofC6o in each fraction was determined by LC-APPI-MS. Of the total aqu/C60 mass, only7.7±6.9% had D, less than 80 nm, while58±32% had D, between 80-150 nm and14±9.2% were between 150-260 nm in D..With the optimal fractionation parameters, 79±5.7% of the aqu/C6o mass eluted from theAF4 channel, indicating deposition occurredduring fractionation. Use of alternativemembranes did not reduce deposition.Channel flow splitting increased detectorresponse,although not to the degreepredicted by theory.
