    Abstract: The present invention relates to blood analysis. In order to determine the filling level of a cartridge, a device (10) is provided that comprises a cartridge interface (14) for receiving a cartridge and a liquid level sensor (16). A cartridge position guiding arrangement is configured to engage with the cartridge for providing a six degree-of-freedom constraint to the cartridge. The liquid level sensor comprises a light source (18) and a light detector (20). The light source is configured to provide a beam of light (22) incident upon a cavity surface (24) of an optical pit (26) of a cartridge received by the cartridge interface. The light detector is configured to detect a portion (28) of the beam of light reflected from the cavity surface of the optical pit. The device is configured to determine a filling level of the optical pit based on the detected portion of the beam of light.
