About iSFFF 2026

Celebrating six decades of innovation in separation science

Welcome to the 24th International Symposium on Field and Flow-based Separations (iSFFF 2026), marking a momentous occasion—60 years since the invention of Field-Flow Fractionation by Professor J. Calvin Giddings in 1966.

This milestone symposium brings together the global FFF community in the heart of the United States capital. From government scientists and academic researchers to industry professionals and the next generation of separation scientists, iSFFF 2026 offers an unparalleled opportunity to exchange ideas, forge collaborations, and shape the future of the field.

Join us in Washington, DC for four days of cutting-edge presentations, engaging discussions, and meaningful connections as we honor the rich history of FFF while charting its course for the decades ahead.
