1. A manifold interface able to be positioned on a base control unit of a fluid pumping system and configured for mounting, and electrically and pneumatically coupling, a manifold of a disposable fluid handling unit for use in the fluid pumping system of the base control unit, the manifold interface comprising:
a housing comprising a coupling side that includes a pneumatic actuation port configured and arranged to fluidically connect to a corresponding pneumatic actuation port of the manifold of the disposable fluid handling unit;
the housing comprising an electrical connector configured and arranged to couple and electrically connect with a corresponding electrical connector on the manifold of the disposable fluid handling unit, wherein the coupling side of the housing of the manifold interface comprises a sensor probe extending away from the housing and configured to mate with a corresponding sensor well on a coupling side of the manifold of the disposable fluid handling unit; wherein the sensor probe is configured and arranged to detect temperature or electrical conductivity of a liquid in a fluid channel of the manifold of the of the disposable fluid handling unit when coupled to the manifold interface.
