Elutriation

A technique used to fractionate packing particles by size. Most other used for the separation of ion-exchange resins, such as amino acid resins. That must have a particularly narrow size range. The technique involves the upward flow of water into a large tube. The unsized beads are added to the moving water, and the particles seek their own level, depending on their density and particle size. They are then removed at certain levels in the tube.
