Abstract

The concept of optical mobility in the optical particle separation was derived. To verify the concept of the optical mobility, three particles were chosen to test the effects of optical mobility, namely, PSL, PMMA and silica particles. Three different experiments were performed. Firstly, retention distances of the different sized particles were measured and predicted. Secondly, retention distances of particles, having same size but different refractive indices, were measured and predicted. Finally, retention distances of the particles, which had the same optical mobility but very different sized and refractive indices, were measured and predicted.
