This work is focused on the analysis of thermal forces as an advance solution to develop new separation techniques. For this purpose, the effect of thermodifussion as separator technique has been numerically validated for both liquid mixtures and colloidal particle suspensions. Once the technique has been validated, a numerical and experimental study for the optimization of the molecular diffusion separation process of a protective cryo (10% DMSO in PBS) used to cryopreserve cells by means of thermodifussion has been analysed.
