Abstract: The invention relates to a magnetic mixing system comprising a mixing body, which is located in a container filled with a medium and which can be made to rotate by a rotating magnetic field that is generated by a solenoid system, and comprising an electronic controller and regulator. According to the invention, the inactivity of the mixing body can be detected and/or conclusions concerning the viscosity of the medium can be drawn and/or the height of the magnetic field can be modified in order to transfer the mixing body to a floating state and/or the electronic controller and regulator is at a location that is remote from the solenoid system. The magnetic mixing system permits the mixing of a medium in the form of a liquid, a liquid-solid mixture, a liquid-gas mixture, a gas-solid mixture or a liquid-gas-solid mixture by means of the mixing body.
