How do I calculate the total volume needed for my session?

You can use the `calculate_tray_requirements` tool to determine the total volume based on your tray count and the volume required per tray, including a safety waste margin.

Can I plan a whole session at once?

Yes, the `generate_full_mixing_plan` tool allows you to input your tray requirements and a list of chemical requests to get a complete mixing plan for the entire session.

How does the waste allowance work?

The waste allowance is a percentage added to your total volume to account for spills or residue, ensuring you have enough solution to complete your work.
