A method and a device for separation and analysis of chiral molecules are described. The method relies on using a fluid shear to induce molecular rotation and the molecular propeller effect to transform rotational motion into translation motion of opposite direction for counterpart enantiomers. The direction of motion of each enantiomers is used to determine its absolute configuration by comparing the direction value with theoretically calculated one. The device uses multiple moving surfaces or pressure induced flows to induce shear flow condition in the solution to separate enantiomers. |
