100 units to mL
We cover 100 units to mL for a U-100 insulin syringe, the syringe that fits and the peptide amount at strengths people often use.
On a U-100 insulin syringe, 100 units equals 1 mL.
A U-40 syringe would hold 100 units as 2.5 mL. It goes into a U-100 syringe with a 1 mL (100 unit) capacity.
How much peptide 100 units holds
Each unit on a U-100 syringe is 0.01 mL, since 100 units fills 1 mL. Units show volume only. How strong your mix is decides how much peptide that volume holds.
| Strength of your mix | Amount in that volume | In mcg |
|---|---|---|
| 1 mg/mL | 1 mg | 1,000 mcg |
| 2 mg/mL | 2 mg | 2,000 mcg |
| 2.5 mg/mL | 2.5 mg | 2,500 mcg |
| 5 mg/mL | 5 mg | 5,000 mcg |
| 10 mg/mL | 10 mg | 10,000 mcg |
Which line should you draw up to?
Each line marks 1 unit on a syringe of 0.3 or 0.5 mL, so count 100 lines. For a 1 mL syringe, every line marks 2 units, which means 100 units is 50 lines.
