A boxhaving a bodyis used with a transparent flexible bag containing a liquid such as an IV bag. First and second facesare positioned relative to each other. The faces each have therewithin an end or fiber optic portof a respective light path. A light source is optically coupled with the light path of the first face and a spectrometer is optically coupled with the light path of the second face. The light paths are coaxial and are disposed so that the transparent flexible bag is positionable therebetween. The spectrometer is disposed to detect an anomaly in the liquid within the transparent flexible bag, and to annunciate the anomaly to a human user. The box defines a reproducible light path length through the liquid. A caliperhaving a bodymay be used in spectrometric analysis of a transparent tube containing a liquid such as a syringe or an IV line. The caliper has finger padswhich permit opening the spring-loaded caliper as needed. Rivetsprovide a pivoting action relative to a pivot structurewhich can also serve as a distance gauge. Compression springurges the caliper jaws together at lens locations. Lens locationsare optically coupled with internal fiber optic linesand thence to external fiber optic connectors. A light source is optically coupled with one of the connectorsand a spectrometer is optically coupled with the other of the connectors
