| 14 | An '''insulin syringe unit''' is a graduation on a syringe barrel calibrated for insulin of a stated concentration. On the U-100 scale, which is the international standard for human insulin, 100 units correspond to exactly 1 millilitre, so one unit is 0.01 mL.{{r|iso8537}} The unit is therefore a '''volume''', and the mass of any substance it contains depends entirely on the concentration of the solution in the barrel. | 15 | An '''insulin syringe unit''' is a graduation on a syringe barrel calibrated for insulin of a stated concentration.
