- the assigned capillaries should have a volume of 1 nl to 120 nl.
- any other dimensions with regard to the volumes mentioned are possible, however, in the event that 5 reactions are to be carried out in the rooms, it must be ensured that the respective rooms 5 have a larger volume than the capillary cannulas assigned to them to prevent crosstalk of reaction liquids between rooms 5.
