Abstract
The aim of the invention is to convectively move at least one liquid in a channel of a microsystem which comprises a predetermined channel direction. To this end, the liquid is, in a partial section of the channel, subjected to an electric field gradient and optionally to a thermal gradient. The gradients are generated in the partial section corresponding to a predetermined field direction, whereby the field direction differs from the channel direction.
