How much is 0.15 in a u-100 syringe?
how much is 0.15 in a 1.0 syringe
What is the difference between a tuberculin syringe and an insulin syringe -?
They are made for administration of specific measurements of either insulin or the antigen for TB testing called PPD (Purified Protein Derivative). Both types of syringes are calibrated into "units". Unit measurements are fixed measures but specific to each type of medicine/solution as to their volume. A unit of insulin is not the same thing as a unit of TB antigen, so the TB syringe can not be used in the place of an insulin syringe. Insulin is administered with the insulin syringe "subcutaneously" (under the skin) in the subcutaneous (sub Q) tissue. The needle is slightly longer than that on a TB syringe. The antigen solution is administered in the TB test "intradermally" (within the skin/between the layers of the skin) instead of under the skin, so the needle is shorter. The amount of liquid in a dose of TB antigen is much smaller than the amount usually given of insulin. Therefore, the barrel of the TB syringe is smaller in diameter to allow such very small amounts (drops) of antigen to be measured. In addition, insulin syringes come in two scales of measurement: U-100 and U-40. This on the label of the syringes indicates which type of insulin they are made to measure and administer. The insulin vial will also be marked either "U-100" or "U-40". One strength is 100 units of insulin per mL and the other is 40 units of insulin per mL. A different insulin syringe is need to measure U-100 than the type used to measure U-40. Unit calibration on the syringe used must be matched to the "strength" of the insulin being used. U-100 insulin has 1/100 of a mL volume per unit (equal also to 1/100 of a cc). U-40 insulin has 1/40 of a mL volume per unit.
What is the use for an insulin syringe?
The insulin syringe is marked in units of insulin. In the US most (I don't know if there is any other still distributed in US) insulin is U-100. U-100 will have 100 units per mL.So if you take 50 units of U-100 insulin, you are taking 1/2 mL. The syringe makes iteasy to take the number of units you need, with the needle made so the insulin won't clog in it, yet glide in easily into the skin. The insulin syringe is made to deliver the insulin dose just under the skin (subcutaneous) NOT into the muscle.
How is the insulin measured on the syringe?
Insulin is measured in units. 1ml is equal to 100 units. Lo-dose syringes are u-50 and u-30 particularly for children. U-100 is the standard for adults.

What is the difference between a 40 UL Syringe and a 100 UL Syringe?
The "UL" is a typewriter abbreviation for Mucro Liter or 1/1 000 000 of a Liter. Properly a Greek letter is used in place of the "U". 40 UL is 40/1 000 000 of a Liter at full capacity. 100 UL is 100/1 000 000 of a Liter at full capacity. Perhaps this is enough for the questioner.
Why do kittens suckle?
i know this cause i was just fostering 4 kittens. kittens suckle because they are used to suckling to get their mom's milk. so to stop suckling you have to get it used to drinking in a low cup like cats or get a syringe. if u do get a syringe give it to the kitten when he/she starts.
