Infinium Staining Set Fill Volumes according to Batch Size

Do not rely on the 250 ml fill line that comes on the reservoir as this is not enough volume.

310 ml may overflow with high numbers of BeadChips in the staining rack due to increased displacement.

Number of BeadChips	Volume of XC4 needed
4	283 ml
8	276 ml
12	270 ml
16	266 ml
20	263 ml
24	250 ml
