1 mL to units
1 mL is 100 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. 1 mL is 100 units, so multiply mL by 100. 1 mL is the same as 1 cc.
1 mL on different syringes
| Syringe | 1 mL = | Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| U-100, 0.3 mL barrel · 30 units | 100 units | Does not fit |
| U-100, 0.5 mL barrel · 50 units | 100 units | Does not fit |
| U-100, 1 mL barrel · 100 units | 100 units | Fits |
| U-40 · 40 units = 1 mL | 40 units | Different scale |
How much of the vial 1 mL is
A draw of 1 mL (100 units) takes a fixed share of the liquid in the vial. The share depends only on how much water was added. The last two columns apply that share to a 5 mg and a 10 mg vial.
| Water added | Share of vial | From a 5 mg vial | From a 10 mg vial |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mL | 100% | 5 mg | 10 mg |
| 2 mL | 50% | 2.5 mg | 5 mg |
| 3 mL | 33.33% | 1.667 mg | 3.333 mg |
| 5 mL | 20% | 1 mg | 2 mg |

Questions
How many units is 1 mL?
100 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. 1 mL is 100 units, so multiply mL by 100.
Is 1 mL the same as 1 cc?
Yes. A cc and a mL are the same volume, so 1 cc is also 100 units on a U-100 syringe.
How many units is 1 mL on a U-40 syringe?
40 units. A U-40 syringe is marked so that 40 units is 1 mL, so the same volume reads as a smaller number than on a U-100 syringe.
How many mg is in 1 mL?
Multiply 1 mL by the concentration in mg/mL. At 5 mg/mL it is 5 mg; at 10 mg/mL it is 10 mg.
How much of a vial is 1 mL?
Divide 1 by the mL of water added. If 2 mL was added, 1 mL is 50% of the vial.
