Abstract
For manipulation of particles in a fluidic microsystem ( ) in which the particles are moved in a predetermined reference direction in a suspension liquid, the microsystem ( ) is closed off at least at its end ( ) pointing to the reference direction. The particles move under the influence of centrifugal forces and/or gravitational forces in the suspension liquid which is stationary in relation to the microsystem ( ), with the centrifugal forces and/or gravitational forces essentially extending parallel to the reference direction. Furthermore, the particles in the microsystem ( ) are exposed to deflection forces whose direction differs from that of the reference direction. (FIG. 1).
