Zusammenfassung:	The disclosure pertains to determining a melatonin level in a biological sample of a subject with a determination system. The determination system comprises a melatonin analyzer, a temperature sensor, and a controller. The method comprises providing a first biological sample from the subject to the melatonin analyzer; generating one or more output signals conveying information related to a temperature of the analyzer; controlling the temperature of the analyzer based on the output signals to be within a pre-determined temperature range, such that responsive to the temperature of the analyzer being outside the pre-determined temperature range, the controlling comprises cooling and/or heating the analyzer to bring and maintain the temperature within the pre-determined temperature range; and responsive to the temperature of the analyzer being within the pre-determined temperature range, facilitating determination of a melatonin level of the first biological sample with the analyzer.
