Abstract
Methods, compositions and instruments for performing affinity assays for target molecules include contacting a sample with a retrievable support capable of forming a substantially homogenous dispersion within a sample medium and reversibly binding to the target molecule. The retrievable support is capable of being separated from the sample medium recapturing the target molecule from other constituents of the sample.
