Claim 0:
1. A method for isolating or concentrating one or more target analytes from a sample solution, comprising the steps of:
(a) embedding a porous material with one or more phase separation behavior modifying agents and aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) components, wherein said components form a first phase solution and a second phase solution;
(b) obtaining a sample solution containing the target analytes; and
(c) contacting the sample solution with the porous material embedded with the one or more phase separation behavior modifying agents and the aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) components,
wherein, when the sample solution flows through the porous material, an aqueous two-phase system comprising said first phase solution and said second phase solution is generated, wherein the separation behavior of the two phase solutions is altered by said phase separation behavior modifying agents; and
wherein the target analytes are isolated or concentrated on said porous material.
