Therefore, you want the ball around 10 at the exit point. Next, if you look at the red and green graph you can see the micro-liters used in each section or I prefer to use the top table to get this information. |

If you multiply the last and first numbers in the chart by 4 and all the others in between by 5 and add all of these up and it will tell you the total # of micro liter on the lane.
