    Abstract: Disclosed are liquids and methods for manipulating the localization and/or buoyancy of a population of particles, or one or more subpopulation thereof, within a volume of a liquid. The specific density of the liquids may be adjusted using specific gravity-modifying means depending on the application and/or on the average density of a population of particles, or one or more subpopulations thereof, within the liquid. For example, density-adjusted liquids may be used to bias a population of particles, or one or more subpopulations of particles, upward or downward within a volume of the liquid. As another example, density-adjusted liquids may be used to maintain the distribution of a population of neutrally buoyant particles, or one or more subpopulation thereof, within a volume of such liquid.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides compositions and methods for a low-avidity, high-affinity and high-specificity biomolecular interaction that is rapidly reversible under physiological conditions. The methods comprise linking biological targets (such as molecules, proteins, DNA, cells, extracellular vesicles, etc.) with polymers and anti-polymer ligands and a way to reverse their binding using physiologically compatible polymeric compounds. The methods also comprise a way to combine different polymer/anti-polymer systems for orthogonal labeling. The compositions comprise labels including particles (fluorescent, magnetic, dense, etc.) conjugated to polymers or labels conjugated to anti-polymer antibodies. The compositions also comprise biomolecules (proteins, antibodies, DNA, etc.) conjugated to the polymers. These methods and compositions represent a major improvement to the state-of-the-art. They are particularly useful for separation and isolation of biological targets using particles, but have important application to other fields including fluorescent imaging.
