A fluid dispenser is disclosed having a storage chamber for storing a liquid, a collection assembly for collecting a portion of liquid, a pump assembly, and a tube extending from within the storage chamber to within the collection chamber through which the portion of liquid is pumped into the collection assembly. The pump assembly includes one or more pump actuators, and the fluid dispenser may have multiple storage chambers, each having a corresponding tube. In addition, the fluid dispenser may have multiple collection chambers. The pump actuators may be, for example, a flexible diaphragm or a trigger-actuated pump mounted on the side of the fluid dispenser. The pump mechanism may be incorporated into the capillary, and it may be, for example, a piston pump or any other type of pump known in the art.

The combined fluid collection and dispensing device of claim 1 further comprising a barrier for selectively impeding the flow of the portion of liquid from the spout. 6. The combined fluid collection and dispensing device of claim 1 wherein the combined fluid collection and dispensing device is calibrated such that the portion of liquid that is collected and dispensed is a predetermined amount of liquid with each actuation of either the first pump actuator or the second pump actuator. 7. A combined fluid collection and dispensing device comprising: a first storage chamber for storing a first liquid;a second storage chamber for storing a second liquid;a collection assembly for collecting a portion of the first liquid and a portion of the second liquid, the collection assembly including a collection chamber having a floor, and a spout via which the portion of the first liquid and the portion of the second liquid is dispensed;a pump assembly comprising a pump actuator including a flexible diaphragm;a first tube extending from within the first storage chamber to within the collection chamber through which the portion of the first liquid is pumped into the collection assembly; anda second tube extending from within the second storage chamber to within the collection chamber through which the portion of the second liquid is pumped into the collection assembly. 8. The combined fluid collection and dispensing device of claim 7 wherein the collection assembly comprises a first collection chamber in which the portion of the first liquid is collected, and a second collection chamber in which the portion of the second liquid is collected. 9. The combined fluid collection and dispensing device of claim 8 wherein the collection assembly comprises a first spout corresponding to the first collection chamber and a second spout corresponding to the second collection chamber. 10. The combined fluid collection and dispensing device of claim 9 further comprising a barrier for selectively impeding the flow of liquid from at least one of the first spout or the second spout. 11. The combined fluid collection and dispensing device of claim 7 wherein the pump assembly comprises a first pump actuator and a second pump actuator, and wherein at least one of the first pump actuator and the second pump actuator includes the flexible diaphragm. 12. The combined fluid collection and dispensing device of claim 11 wherein actuation of the first pump actuator causes the portion of the first liquid to be collected in the collection chamber, and actuation of the second pump actuator causes the portion of the second liquid to be collected in the collection chamber. 13. The combined fluid collection and dispensing device of claim 11 wherein the actuation of the first pump actuator causes a predetermined amount of the first liquid to be collected in the collection chamber, and wherein the actuation of the second pump actuator causes a predetermined amount of the second liquid to be collected in the collection chamber. 14. The combined fluid collection and dispensing device of claim 7, further comprising a third storage chamber for storing a third liquid, and a third tube extending from within the third storage chamber to within the collection chamber through which a portion of the third liquid is pumped into the collection assembly. 15. The combined fluid collection and dispensing device of claim 7, wherein the portion of the first liquid has a maximum volume based on a height of the first tube and the portion of the second liquid has a maximum volume based on a height of the second tube. 16. The combined fluid collection and dispensing device of claim 11, wherein the first pump actuator is level with the second pump actuator within a horizontal plane. 17. The combined fluid collection and dispensing device of claim 11, wherein the first pump actuator is in a different horizontal plane than the second pump actuator. 18. A method of collecting and dispensing fluid comprising: storing a first liquid in a first rigid storage chamber;storing a second liquid in a second rigid storage chamber;actuating at least one of a first pump actuator and a second pump actuator, wherein at least one of the first pump actuator and the second actuator includes a flexible diaphragm;selectively collecting at least one of a portion of the first liquid from the first storage chamber and a portion of the second liquid from the second storage chamber in a collection chamber, wherein the portion of the first liquid is collected via a first tube extending from within the first storage chamber to within the collection chamber and the portion of the second liquid is collected via a second tube extending from within the second storage chamber to within the collection chamber; anddispensing the portion of liquid collected in the collection chamber. 19. The method of claim 18 wherein the collecting step comprises selectively collecting at least one of a portion of the first liquid in a first collection chamber and a portion of the second liquid in a second collection chamber. 20. The method of claim 18 where actuating at least one of the first pump actuator and the second pump actuator causes a predetermined amount of liquid to be displaced into the collection chamber. 21. A combined fluid collection and dispensing device comprising: a storage chamber for storing a liquid;a collection assembly for collecting a portion of liquid, the collection assembly including a collection chamber having a floor, and a spout via which the portion of collected liquid is dispensed;a pump assembly having a first and second pump actuator for collecting at least one of a portion of the liquid in the collection chamber by drawing the liquid into the collection chamber, where a first amount of fluid is drawn into the collection chamber by pressing the first pump actuator and a second amount of fluid is drawn into the collection chamber by pressing the second pump actuator thereby causing an increased amount of fluid to be drawn into the collection chamber upon the simultaneous pressing of both the first and second pump actuator; anda tube extending from within the storage chamber to within the collection chamber through which the portion of liquid is pumped into the collection assembly. 22. A combined fluid collection and dispensing device comprising: a first storage chamber for storing a first liquid;a second storage chamber for storing a second liquid;a collection assembly for collecting a first portion of liquid and a second portion of liquid, the collection assembly including a collection chamber having a floor, and a spout via which the portion of collected liquid is dispensed;a pump assembly having a first and second pump actuator for selectively collecting at least a portion of the first liquid in the collection chamber utilizing the first pump actuator and at least a portion of the second liquid in the collection chamber utilizing the second pump actuator;a first tube extending from within the first storage chamber to within the collection chamber through which the first portion of liquid is pumped into the collection assembly; anda second tube extending from within the second storage chamber to within the collection chamber through which the second portion of liquid is pumped into the collection assembly.
