T
he pouch has adequate polymer to support the stated number of samples or injections, plus additional volume to accommodate installation
and wizard operations. Multiple pouch installations and/or excessive use of wizards reduce the number of remaining samples and injections. For
example, if you run the total bubble remove option in the Remove Bubbles wizard more than four times, the number of remaining samples and
injections is reduced.
