Abstract
This invention relates to the selective separation of particles according to particle size. More particularly, this invention pertains to advanced particulate media which are carefully sized so as to permit precise and selective separation of microparticles suspended in fluids according to particle size, and to methods of using these advanced particulate media to achieve precise and selective separation.
