A device for dispensing fluid from a fluid container, the device capable of being set to different discrete and repeatable/equal dispensing amounts, depending on the amount of fluid required to be dispensed by the user for various applications and uses. The device may also be set to an off or closed position to prevent accidental dispensing of fluid when not in use. The device is preferably configured to be affixed to the outer surface of a fluid container, which fluid container is preferably a flexible bag or pouch.

A measuring a closed-loop fluid transfer system is provided that includes a measuring adapter having a first end and a second ends, and a chamber located there between and configured to hold a volume of fluid. The measuring adapter includes a first receiving valve assembly located at the first end of the measuring adapter. The first receiving valve assembly includes a receiving valve member, at least a portion of which is separable from a portion of the first receiving valve assembly. This creates an opening that provides fluid communication to the chamber when a force is exerted on the receiving valve member of the first receiving valve assembly. A second valve assembly located at the second end of the measuring adapter includes a valve member. At least a portion of the valve member of the second valve assembly is separable from a portion of the second valve assembly to create an opening that provides fluid communication to the chamber.

A drop-detection device (11, 11a, 11b) for the detection of drops (TR) that escape from a nozzle of a metering valve (DV), preferably a micro-metering valve, is described. The drop-detection device (11, 11a, 11b) comprises a signal-generation unit (20), which is configured to produce a carrier signal (TS) with a defined pulse frequency. In addition, the drop-detection device (11, 11a, 11b) has a modulation unit (30, 30a) which is configured to generate a modulated signal (MS) due to a physical interaction of the carrier signal (TS) with a drop to be detected (TR), Furthermore, the drop-detection device (11, 11a, 11b) has an evaluation unit (50), which is configured to determine if a drop (TR) has been dispensed by the metering valve (DV) based on the measurement signal (MS) under consideration of the defined pulse frequency. A method (600) of detecting a drop (TR) of a metering valve (DV) is also described.
