Is the tuberculin syringe used to measure doses larger than 3 ml?

NO. A tuberculin syringe will only hold up to one ml. It is very useful, and appropriate for measuring any amount equal to or less than one ml. Also...It is NOT appropriate to try to use an insulin syringe for this purpose, as some people try to do. Insulin syringes are measured in *units*, not milliliters and therefore will not give an accurate reading of ml's. This is a potentially dangerous practice. If you have no other option...100 units = 1ml approximately...or so I am told. Get the right tool for the job!! Insulin needs to be measured accurately each and every time. It is not worth risking your life. Get the right syringe for administrating insulin!!
