How to Properly Read Measurements on a Syringe
Learn the correct way to read amounts on a syringe for accurate dosing.
0 views
To read an amount on a syringe, first identify the measurement units (e.g., ml or cc). Then, look at the marks on the syringe barrel: major lines indicate whole numbers, and minor lines usually represent fractions (e.g., 0.2, 0.1 ml). Draw liquid until the top of the plunger aligns with the desired mark.
FAQs & Answers
- What do the lines on a syringe represent? The major lines indicate whole numbers while the minor lines show fractions of the measurement, such as 0.1 or 0.2 ml.
- How do you ensure accuracy when drawing liquid into a syringe? Ensure the top of the plunger aligns with the desired measurement mark on the syringe for accurate dosing.
- What is the difference between ml and cc in syringes? 1 ml is equivalent to 1 cc; they are often used interchangeably in syringe measurements.
