Claim 8:
9. A method for facilitating the separation of a set of target materials from a sample, the method comprising:
at a container comprising a deformable bag:
receiving a set of buoyant spheres, the set of buoyant spheres associated with a first density;
receiving the sample associated with a second density, the second density greater than the first density, wherein the sample comprises:
the set of target materials, wherein the set of buoyant spheres is configured to bind with at least a portion of the set of target materials, thereby producing a set of target-bound materials;
a set of non-target materials;

enabling an accumulation of the set of target-bound materials at a predetermined region of an internal volume of the deformable bag, thereby facilitating the separation, wherein the deformable bag is configured to be separable into a set of multiple portions, wherein the set of multiple portions comprises the predetermined region.
