Measurement
What is a U-100 syringe?
An insulin syringe marked 0 to 100 units. One unit equals 0.01 mL.
A U-100 syringe is an insulin syringe marked from 0 to 100 units. On this scale, one unit equals 0.01 mL, so 100 units make up 1 mL.
It comes up often because many people measure reconstituted peptides in units on these syringes rather than in milliliters. The units on the barrel are a volume marking, separate from IU, which measures activity.
TRKD+ explains what the markings mean so the numbers make sense. It does not tell you how many units to draw. That is a conversation for a licensed provider.
