The invention relates to a device (1) for monitoring sample-collection carried out using a piston pump (3, 8) such as a syringe, characterised in that said device includes"a pressure sensor (11) close to the suction and/or delivery opening (6). Said device is in particular suited for use in an analysis automaton, in particular for analysing a blood sample. Such a sensor guarantees that the liquid to be analysed is properly sucked up, in particular float no air is sucked up and that neither the suction or delivery sides are blocked.
