Abstract: The disclosure relates to a sampling system for processing a liquid sample, including a retrieving module configured to be fluidically connected to a liquid-source and configured to retrieve a liquid sample from the liquid-source, a filling module configured to fill the retrieved liquid sample into a sampling container, a storing module configured to store the sampling container filled with the liquid sample, and a disposal module configured to discard the liquid sample.

Abstract: A method in a transmitter-sensor system for detection of a missing or faulty sensor configuration when connecting a sensor to a transmitter, comprises: retrieving first information concerning the transmitter by the sensor from the transmitter; checking by an electronics of the sensor, whether second information concerning the transmitter is stored in a memory unit of the sensor; when the second information concerning the transmitter is stored in the memory unit of the sensor: retrieving the second information concerning the transmitter by the electronics of the sensor, and comparing the first information concerning the transmitter with the second information concerning the transmitter; and informing a user when the first information differs from the second information or when no second information is stored in the memory unit of the sensor. Disclosed also is a sensor and a transmitter.

Abstract: An automatic sampling apparatus for taking liquid samples for the qualitative or quantitative determination of at least one analyte contained in the sample liquid includes a sample line that can be fluidically connected to the sampling station, a pump device, at least one sample container that can be fluidically connected to the sample line, and an electronic control system. The electronic control system is configured to fluidically connect the sample line to the sample container such that a fluid flow path extending from the sampling station through the sample line into the sample container is formed. The electronic control system is further configured to transport, using the pump device, a definable volume of the sample liquid, in the form of a liquid sample, along the fluid flow path into the sample container. The sampling apparatus is configured for concentrating or extracting the analyte present in the liquid sample.
