Know where to draw.
Enter what is in the vial and how much water you added.
The syringe shows the line to draw to.

How the math works
- Strength. Divide the peptide in the vial by the bacteriostatic water you added. 10 mg in 2 mL is 5 mg per mL.
- Volume. Divide the amount per draw by the strength. 250 mcg is 0.25 mg, and 0.25 mg divided by 5 mg per mL is 0.05 mL.
- Units. Multiply the volume by 100. On a U-100 syringe, 0.05 mL is 5 units.
Reading a U-100 syringe
U-100 means 100 units fill 1 mL, so each unit is 0.01 mL. This is true for 1 mL, 0.5 mL and 0.3 mL syringes.
Most 1 mL syringes have a line every 2 units, so 5 units falls halfway between the 4 and 6 lines. 0.5 mL and 0.3 mL syringes have a line every unit, which makes small amounts easier to read.
Read the line at the edge of the stopper nearest the needle, not at its domed middle.
