An apparatus and method of dispensing precise aliquots of cell culture media from a bulk, sterile, flexible container. The apparatus has load cell, a control valve, and a programmable controller. The container suspends from the load cell within the housing. The load cell continuously transmits to the controller an output signal, which represents the force, i.e., weight, of the bag on the load cell. The controller regulates the flow of media from the container by selectively activating the control valve. The controller precisely measures the volume of fluid media dispensed from the container by continuously calculating the change in weight of the container using the load cell output signal.
