Mary didn't want to risk fusing with another life-form so she decided to put something inanimate into the teleporter. Looking around the room, Mary spotted the pallet with several steel cubes located in the corner of the lab. One cube were about 6" each side.
I should take some steel with me. I just hope that I won't become inanimate...
And with this she grabbed one of the steel cubes, which were almost one quarter of here size and weight about 60 lbs. She expected a steel cube of that size to be much heavier, especially for someone as small as she was. But it felt rather light for her so she assumed that it was not steel but some other metal, maybe aluminum. Little did she know, that she had become stronger during her shrinking and was twice as strong as she was before, thanks to her chitin body and higher density of mass.
At least I won't have trouble to move those cubes into the teleporter. But how much should i take?
After she had moved 6 blocks in the teleporter Mary again tried to estimate the weight of one cube but totally failed as she thought, that one cube only weights about 20 lbs. With that in her mind she decided to take another 2 steel blocks into the teleporter.
That should do it. Or shall I take one more? I always wanted to be bigger...
Feeling exited of becoming bigger than before, Mary put 4 extra cubes in the teleporter making it a total of 12 solid one-inch steel cubes. Mary was quite happy with the outcome and checked the console if it was ready for another round. Mary went into the teleportation chamber and before she could regret her decision, the door of the teleporter closed and the teleportation sequence was initialized. Bright light filled the chamber and Mary and the 12 steel blocks were absorbed by the teleporter's light beam.

The receiver chamber started to heat up and hummed as bright light started to fill the room. A shadow manifested in the light and Mary started to appear.
