1. A method for magnetic separation comprising:
(a) providing a system for magnetic separation comprising:
(i) a flow module comprising a sorting region having an inlet and an outlet and comprising a plurality of voids around which particles and fluid can flow, wherein the plurality of voids is arranged in a two-dimensional array, and wherein each of the plurality of voids has a height that extends across the sorting region of the flow module; and
(ii) a magnetic module comprising a plurality of magnetic features that mate with the plurality of voids, wherein the magnetic and flow modules are separable; and, a sample comprising magnetic particles suspended in a liquid; and
(b) allowing the sample to enter the sorting region and to flow around the plurality of voids, wherein the magnetic particles are immobilized adjacent the plurality of voids in the sorting region.
