Thank you, Friederike. I don't think it's exactly reduction... but may be testing 10.0 ml from the original 110 or something...

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Sabine Akabayov, PhD: Was ist denn dann Abnahme von 10 mL auf 100 mL? Das waere dann ja eher Zunahme.

  -> Wenn die Abnahme 10ml ist, und es am Schluss noch 100ml hat faengt es wahrscheinlich mit 110 ml an..kommt darauf an wie es weiter geht, vielleicht wird nur 100 ml gebraucht. As pointed out, it is not real clear.
