The present invention relates to an apparatus for the simultaneous analysis of at least two samples by the field-flow fractionation method, where the apparatus has at least the following elements: a) a source of a defined liquid stream, preferably a pump, b) at least two separation channels, each with at least one inlet and each with at least one outlet for passing the at least two samples through in each case one of the at least two separation channels, c) at least one controllable unit which is connected to the at least two separation channels via their at least one outlet each, and which can pass on the at least two samples, which can be passed through in each case one of the at least two separation channels, separately from one another to at least one unit downstream of the controllable unit.

1. An apparatus for the simultaneous analysis of at least two samples by the flow field-flow fractionation method, where the apparatus has at least the following elements: a) as a source of a defined liquid stream, a pump, b) at least two separation channels, each with at least one inlet and each with at least one outlet for passing each sample through in each case one of the at least two separation channels, wherein the pump is connected in each case to one of the at least two separation channels via a regulation valve, c) at least one controllable unit which is connected to the at least two separation channels via their at least one outlet each, and which can pass on the at least two samples, which can be passed through in each case one of the at least two separation channels, separately from one another to at least one unit downstream of the controllable unit, d) and in which the at least two separation channels are separated from one another merely by the flow stream with the carrier liquid, with the prerequisite that the particles present in the samples to be analyzed have a size of ≥10 nm, wherein a membrane simultaneously covers the at least two separation channels. 2. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the controllable unit has one or more multi-port valves. 3. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one unit downstream of the controllable unit is a detector. 4.
