Summary, in English

This paper describes an acoustic method to induce rotating vortexflows in microchannels. The method is tested on two different systems, a mixing channel with two paralell flows and a porous silicon microreactor for protein digestion. A significant increase of the mixing ratio is detected in both cases.
