The invention relates to a fluid providing apparatus (5; 34) for providing a fluid to an analyzing apparatus (17; 33) for analyzing the fluid and to the analyzing apparatus (17; 33). The fluid providing apparatus (34) comprises a casing (35), which has an introduction opening (7), through which a fluid transferring element (1) is introducible into the casing (35) for transferring the fluid to the fluid providing apparatus (34). The casing (35) comprises further a fluid releasing section (8) for releasing the fluid from the fluid transferring element (1) and a fluid transferring element detection section (36) for detecting whether the fluid transferring element (1) is introduced into the casing (35) by interacting with a fluid transferring element detection unit of the analyzing apparatus (17; 33).
