| 37 | The last row illustrates the most common unit confusion: a dose expressed in micrograms against a concentration expressed in milligrams per millilitre. One thousand micrograms is one milligram, so 100 µg of a 1 mg/mL solution is 0.1 mL — ten units on a U-100 syringe, not one hundred. | 37 | The last row illustrates the most common unit confusion: a dose expressed in micrograms against a concentration expressed in milligrams per millilitre.

| + | 39 | Two rows are worth noticing for a different reason. A 150-unit dose does not fit in a 1 mL insulin syringe, and the tool warns when a computed volume exceeds a plausible barrel. A 5-unit dose sits at the very bottom of a U-100 barrel, where the graduation interval is a large fraction of the dose and precision is correspondingly poor; a lower concentration would place the same dose further up the scale.{{r|iso7886}} | |
