Syringe reference

U-100 syringe units guide

Learn how a calculated liquid volume in mL relates to U-100 syringe units and the three syringe capacities shown in the app.

Use the interactive U-100 units ↔ mL calculator

A U-100 scale contains 100 units per 1 mL. In this scale, each displayed unit represents 0.01 mL.

U-100 units = liquid volume in mL × 100

Common syringe capacities in the app

0.3 mL U-100 syringe

Maximum scale: 30 U-100 units. The app uses a distinct high-contrast label and adjusts the visual markings to this capacity.

0.5 mL U-100 syringe

Maximum scale: 50 U-100 units. The result remains the same volume, while the displayed barrel and scale match this selected capacity.

1 mL U-100 syringe

Maximum scale: 100 U-100 units. The app warns when a calculated volume exceeds the selected syringe’s capacity.

Why syringe capacity matters

A calculated result can represent the same volume on different U-100 capacities, but the printed spacing and smallest marked increment may differ between actual products. Always match the app’s selected capacity to the physical syringe and verify its printed scale.
