The sample chamber volume can be viewed under Settings > Calibration.

 

Make sure to look at the sample chamber volume for the interested flow path, either Sample Chamber — Sample Filled for sample flow path or Sample Chamber — Reference Filled for reference flow path.

 

If a small sample quantity is available, inserts can be used to further reduce the available sample chamber volume.
