A binding syringe and methods of use are disclosed. The binding syringe includes an outer body, a middle chamber, an inner body, and a plunger. The middle chamber has an outer surface including a plurality of pores, which are configured to retain certain components from biological fluid extracted by the outer body. A method of use includes placing a binding syringe into a patient or container, actuating the binding syringe to extract biological fluid, fluid flowing through a flowpath, and binding components of the biological fluid to be removed to the binding syringe.
