ABSTRACT:
Method and arrangement for taking up a first medium, which is present in a first phase, into a capillary deviceIn the capillary device, a reduced pressure is produced which is less than a critical pressure such that, if it is exerted in the capillary device, a surface tension which is produced by the first medium in the capillary device, when the first medium has been taken up fully by the capillary device, would be overcome so that a second medium which is present in a second phase, different from the first phase, would be taken up into the capillary device.
