In order to provide heating means for an ultrasonic application setup, adapted for heating a sample (20) gently and fast and saving costs and space, an ultrasound transducer (10) capable of being driven at multiple frequencies including a main frequency for efficient production of ultrasound waves and at least one alternative frequency, at which almost no ultrasound is generated, a system for sample analysis comprising such an ultrasound transducer (10) and a method for controlling such an ultrasound transducer (10) are proposed, wherein the ultrasound transducer (10) is driven either at the main frequency for generating ultrasonic waves or at the alternative frequency for generating heat in the ultrasound transducer (10), if the sample (20) is to be heated.
