A proboscis and method of use that automatically detects whether or not a disposable tip has been properly picked up. The proboscis features a probe supported on a base movable within a driven housing, a sensing flag with multiple signalling stations being fixed to the base. These allow the sensor cooperating with the flag to be fixed to the frame of an analyzer using this proboscis, rather than to be adjustably attached, so that no adjustment is needed of the sensor's position for recalibration.
