1. A fluid transfer system, comprising:
- A. a first receptacle reservoir including;
(i) a first receptacle reservoir body,(ii) a first receptacle interior volume disposed within the first receptacle reservoir body the first receptacle interior volume being capable of containing a measurable quantity of fluid, and(iii) a first receptacle reservoir interface in fluid communication with the first receptacle interior volume;
B. a second receptacle reservoir including;
(i) a second receptacle reservoir body,(ii) a second receptacle interior volume disposed within the second receptacle reservoir body the second receptacle interior volume being capable of containing a measurable volume of fluid, and(iii) a second receptacle reservoir interface in fluid communication with the second receptacle interior volume;
C. a first supply reservoir including;
(i) a first supply reservoir body,(ii) a first supply interior volume disposed within the first supply reservoir body,(iii) a first fluid contained within the first supply interior volume, and(iv) a first supply reservoir interface in fluid communication with the first supply interior volume and capable of coupling with the first receptacle reservoir interface in order to create a first fluid communication junction between the first supply interior volume and the first receptacle interior volume the first supply reservoir interface being mechanically incompatible with the second receptacle reservoir interface so as to prevent a fluid communication junction therebetween; and
D. a second supply reservoir including;
(i) a second supply reservoir body,(ii) a second supply interior volume disposed within the second supply reservoir body,(iii) a second fluid contained within the second supply interior volume, and(iv) a second supply reservoir interface in fluid communication with the second supply interior volume and capable of coupling with a second receptacle reservoir interface in order to create a second fluid communication junction between the second supply interior volume and the second reservoir interior volume the second supply reservoir interface being mechanically incompatible with the first receptacle reservoir interface so as to prevent a fluid communication junction therebetween.

6. A method for transferring fluids, comprising:
-
a. creating a first fluid communication junction between a first receptacle reservoir and a first supply reservoir by coupling a first receptacle reservoir interface to a first supply reservoir interface the first supply reservoir interface being mechanically incompatible with a second receptacle reservoir interface so as to prevent a fluid communication junction therebetween; b. transferring a first fluid from the first supply reservoir into the first receptacle reservoir through the first fluid communication junction of the first supply reservoir interface and first receptacle reservoir interface; c. creating a second fluid communication junction between a second receptacle reservoir and a second supply reservoir by coupling the second receptacle reservoir interface to a second supply reservoir interface, the second supply reservoir interface being mechanically incompatible with the first receptacle reservoir interface so as to prevent a fluid communication junction therebetween; and d. transferring a second fluid from the second supply reservoir into the second receptacle reservoir through the second fluid communication junction of the second supply reservoir interface and second receptacle reservoir interface. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
