# 96 wells plate
# 96 wells 1 - 12 (columns) a-h (rows)
# show the 96 well plates, with x's on the used wells (lina will pick which well she so desires)
# sometimes lina will have to run multiple 96 plates, to reduce stress/time she would request to multiple the results because she is unable to do math
# stains constant 1/200
# PI constant 1/400

# Lina will speificy volume with the same units (micro liter -> ul)
# 1000 microliters = 1ml -> when volume is over 1000 convert it to ml's for lina's
# number = volume * number of wells lina specifies -> give this number to lina
# number * either stain or PI constant -> give this number to lina
