Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2783747A1] The method involves providing a volume of liquid (50), and generating a thermal convection flow at a surface/boundary surface of the volume of liquid by irradiating electromagnetic radiation (30) into the volume of liquid. The volume of liquid is provided in a sample chamber (45) that is designed in an open or closed manner. A capillary having an inner diameter of from 0.05 mm to 0.8 mm is provided as a drop on an object carrier, where the capillary is made from glass. The electromagnetic radiation is produced by an LED or a laser and directed parallel and/or antiparallel to gravitation. An independent claim is also included for a system with a device for executing a method for mixing liquids or particles with liquid.
