Magnetic and non-magnetic microparticle binding surfaces for the simple, cost-effective and automatable depletion of sample interferences within the assay blocking threshold and enrichment of biomarkers are provided, as are methods and compositions for their preparation and use. The binding surfaces may comprise non-magnetic, magnetic, paramagnetic, and superparamagnetic microparticles, or combinations thereof. The methods include methods for making microparticulate binding surfaces that consist of binders, binding partners, capture moieties, or combinations thereof for multi-functional sample depletion and enrichment. Specific examples employing antibodies or fragments thereof are provided, as well as strepavidin-coated microparticles and microparticles coupled with capture moieties such as immunoglobulins. Other examples couple ligands, enzymes, and proteins, or other biologicals, polymers and chemicals commonly used in the diagnostic test formulation or design. Further provided are binding surfaces consisting of a plurality of microparticles and methods for making them. Use of the methods and compositions in connection with the depletion and enrichment of a wide variety of interferences and biomarkers is provided, particularly for use in primary blood collection tubes, secondary transfer tubes and challenging sample types such as urine, saliva and stool.
