A liquid surface detector is constituted of an oscillator that outputs an alternating current signal at a frequency of 130 kHz, and a modulator circuit for modulating the alternating current signal with a capacitance index signal that indicates a change in capacitance. The capacitance changes with movement of a suction probe relative to a cup containing a liquid. An output signal of the modulator is filtered and amplified by a first filtering circuit that passes a frequency component of 130 kHz through it. Through a wave detector circuit and a second filtering circuit that passes a frequency component of 2 kHz, a signal corresponding to the capacitance index signal is detected from an output of the first filtering circuit, and is compared with a reference signal, to detect that the probe gets into contact with the liquid surface.
