Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein provide apparatus and methods for verifying a volume of fluid. According to one embodiment, an apparatus includes a receptacle for containing fluid, a first conductor operatively associated with the receptacle and a second conductor operatively associated with the receptacle offset from the first conductor. A source of a first electrical signal is electrically connected with the first conductor. A monitor is electrically connected with the second conductor for detecting a second electrical signal created in the second conductor. In another embodiment, a method includes positioning a receptacle adjacent a fluid dispense nozzle such that fluid dispensed from the nozzle enters the receptacle. A first electrical signal is applied to a first conductor operatively connected with the receptacle. A second electrical signal created in a second conductor operatively connected with the receptacle responsive to the first electrical signal is monitored.
