Insulin Syringe Units Chart (U-100)

How insulin-syringe units map to millilitres, and what each syringe size holds.

2026-07-23 · 3 min read

On a standard U-100 insulin syringe, 100 units = 1 mL, so 1 unit = 0.01 mL. This holds on all U-100 syringes; the 30/50/100 label is the maximum volume.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 1 unit always 0.01 mL?
On U-100 syringes, yes. The 30/50/100 designation only changes the maximum volume, not the unit scale.
