24. A portable measuring facility for determining the concentration of an analyte in a living body, comprising
a sensor configured to determine a concentration of an analyte in a liquid, a probe configured to be implanted into tissue of the living body, a peristaltic pump, a liquid line having a section defining a first tube on which the pump acts in peristaltic fashion to generate a conveying pressure in the liquid line to convey the liquid from the probe through the liquid line to the sensor, and an aspiration line having a section comprising a second tube on which the pump acts in peristaltic fashion to generate a negative pressure that is applied to a gas-permeable surface of the liquid line.
