  • a first end configured to selectively attach to an opening of a container;

    a second end forming an internal chamber;

    a sensor having a sensor element, the sensor element being positioned within the internal chamber, the sensor being configured to perform at least one test to identify one or more characteristics of a fluid within the internal chamber; and

    a spike having a first end positioned within the first end of the attachment device and a second end positioned within the internal chamber, the spike configured to pierce a seal of the container when the container is attached to the first end of the attachment device thereby causing the fluid to flow from the container through the spike and into the internal chamber of the attachment device where the one or more characteristics of the fluid are tested by the sensor.
