Abstract
Methods of using particle size amplification to facilitate size-based particle separation and concentration. At least one of the methods includes introducing a plurality of binding moieties into a fluid sample; allowing at least one of the binding moieties to bind two or more biological particles to form a particle cluster, in which the particle cluster includes a first type of biological particle bound to a second different type of biological particle; and flowing the fluid sample including the particle cluster into a particle sorting region of a microfluidic device.
