On page 1078, D. Issadore and colleagues develop a new approach for isolating pathogens from messy clinical samples. Their platform, Track Etched Magnetic MicropOre (TEMPO), uses a microporous membrane coated with a soft magnetic film, creating enormous arrays of magnetic traps which allow the advantages of microfluidics to be preserved, but is robust against clogging and capable of extremely high flow rates.
