Zusammenfassung:A method of detecting the presence of bilirubin in a sample of a flowable substance as well as a detector assembly (23) for use in said method are disclosed. The method comprises providing a receiver body (2) shaped to define a receiving chamber (3). The receiving chamber (3) has a maximum capacity for holding a volume of the flowable substance and an outlet opening (5) through which the substance can leave the receiving chamber (3). The receiver body (2) can move relative to a guide (10) to a second position in which the outlet opening (5) is not blocked. In the second position, a metered quantity of flowable substance in the receiving chamber (3) can leave the receiving chamber (3) and come into contact with a detector device (160). Thus, a measurement of bilirubin in the precisely metered quantity of flowable substance is enabled.
