A method for precisely and accurately determining the volume of a test liquid aliquot which can be used to calibrate a liquid delivery device. The method is particularly useful for determining the volume of an aliquot of a test liquid which is complex or non-aqueous, or is both complex and non-aqueous. The test-stock mixture contains at least the test liquid and a stock solution including a first dye, the first dye having absorbance characteristics which are measurably distinguishable from the absorbance characteristics of a second dye. The test-stock mixture is mixed with a diluent including the second dye to form a sample solution to be used to measure absorbances of the first dye and the second dye. The volume of the test-stock mixture aliquot is calculated by using a formula based on the Beer-Lambert law which incorporates the measured absorbance values and a dilution characteristic of the test-stock mixture. The test liquid and the stock solution are combined gravimetrically in a controlled ratio so that the flow characteristics of the test-stock mixture correspond to the flow characteristics of the test liquid and without affecting the ability to distinguish the absorbance characteristics between the first dye and the second dye.
