Calculated Marking

Fill the syringe to 20 units for a 1 mg amount

One milliliter, 100-unit insulin syringe The needle connection is on the left and the thumb plunger is on the right. The black stopper's left edge indicates the calculated unit marking.

Read the amount at the needle-side edge of the black rubber stopper.

Concentration5 mg/mL
Volume0.2 mL
Device Scale100 units/mL

How The Calculation Works

Concentration = peptide amount ÷ solution volume. Required volume = amount entered ÷ concentration. For a U-100 insulin syringe, 1 mL equals 100 units.

Example: 10 mg mixed with 2 mL produces 5 mg/mL. A 1 mg amount requires 0.2 mL, which is 20 units on a U-100 syringe.
