The invention relates to a device for carrying out at least one measurement and for removing milk samples from a milking machine, through which milk can flow and which comprises an air separation device, a measurement device, a sample removal device and a channel that is open to the top. According to the invention, the air separation device is designed to separate the milk from air with which the milk is mixed. The measurement device is arranged downstream of the air separation device. It is connected to the air separation device by a first milk outlet opening of the air separation device and designed to carry out one or more measurements with the milk flowing through the device. The sample removal device is designed to supply milk to a sample container. The channel open to the top is arranged upstream of the measurement device and is designed to receive at least a part of the milk which was separated from the air with which said milk was mixed in the air separation device and to direct said milk so that it flows at least partially to the sample removal device.
