How many units in 3 mL
On a U-100 insulin syringe, 3 mL in units; the syringe that holds that amount and the peptide amount in it at each common mix strength.
A U-100 insulin syringe shows 300 units for 3 mL.
If you use a U-40 syringe, 3 mL reads as 120 units. A 1 mL syringe holds less; you'd need 3 full syringes to reach that amount, or you could use a larger one.
How much peptide does 3 mL contain?
With 100 units in 1 mL, a U-100 syringe measures each unit at 0.01 mL. Units show volume only. The peptide amount in that volume depends on the strength of your mix.
| Strength of your mix | Amount in that volume | In mcg |
|---|---|---|
| 1 mg/mL | 3 mg | 3,000 mcg |
| 2 mg/mL | 6 mg | 6,000 mcg |
| 2.5 mg/mL | 7.5 mg | 7,500 mcg |
| 5 mg/mL | 15 mg | 15,000 mcg |
| 10 mg/mL | 30 mg | 30,000 mcg |
