Abstract

The invention relates to a method for transporting liquids in a microfluidic circulatory system wherein a thermocapillary pump is used. Said thermocapillary pump contains a reservoir (12) which is filled with a mixture including at least one liquid phase, and/or a separator for separating at least one liquid phase from a mixture of at least one liquid and one gaseous phase, an evaporation zone (7) for evaporating the at least one liquid phase, said zone being connected to a heat source, and at least one capillary (6) for transporting the liquid phase from the reservoir (12) to the evaporation zone (7) by a capillary effect.
