Abstract: An automated method for detecting and/or monitoring a state of a degasser of an analyzer is provided, the degasser including a container configured to be evacuated. The method includes obtaining a time series of values indicative of pressures inside the container. The time series spans a period during which the container is evacuated or pressurized. The method further includes determining a liquid level state of the degasser which is determined by an amount of liquid present in the container based on the time series.

Abstract: A time tracking device (112) for monitoring system performance of at least one laboratory instrument is proposed. The time tracking device (112) comprises at least one support structure (114). The time tracking device (112) further comprises at least one electronics unit (116) and at least one motion sensor (118) housed by the support structure (114). The motion sensor (118) is configured for detecting a change of motion and/or orientation of the time tracking device (112). The electronics unit (116) is configured for measuring time, wherein a time measurement is initiated by detecting a change of motion and/or orientation of the time tracking device (112) and is terminated by detecting a subsequent change of motion and/or orientation of the time tracking device (112). The support structure (114) is a polygonal support structure (114) comprising a plurality of faces (120), wherein the support structure (114) comprises at least two interactive faces (136). Each of the interactive faces (136) comprises at least one user interface (138) comprising at least one display device (140). Each of the interactive faces (136) is configured for displaying at least one status indication (171) of the laboratory instrument, wherein the interactive face (136) matching a current status of the laboratory instrument is selectable by a user via changing motion and/or orientation of the time tracking device (112). The time tracking device (112) is con-figured for providing data relating to the measured time via at least one communication interface (172).
