A capacitive liquid level sensor for an automatic chemical analyzer, wherein a pipetting tube approaches a liquid level of the sample to be analyzed and is electrically connected to one terminal of an electrical bridge network. The electrical bridge network is activated by an A.C. current and produces an A.C. signal which has a phase change produced by a change in capacitance between the pipetting tube and the liquid level as the pipetting tube approaches the liquid level. The A.C. signal is converted into a D.C. signal proportional to the phase difference by means of a phase detector. A liquid level is detected by comparison of the D.C. signal with a preselected reference level.
