| + | 4 | | caption = A U-100 syringe scale is a volume scale: 42 units is 0.42 mL regardless of what the vial contains. | |

| + | 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. | |
