Error margin too tight for 0.1mL syringes | 5 doses (5 days) | High concentration minimises vial entries but demands precision tools; one miscalibrated syringe wastes the entire vial || 2mL | 5mg/mL | 0.2mL (20 units) | 0.4mL (40 units) | 0.01mL graduations recommended; 0.1mL acceptable with care | 5 doses (5 days) | Optimal balance. Measurable volumes, forgiving error tolerance, fits standard insulin syringe range || 3mL | 3.33mg/mL | 0.3mL (30 units) | 0.6mL (60 units) | 0.1mL graduations sufficient | 5 doses (5 days) | Larger draw volumes reduce concentration-related error but increase needle entries and contamination exposure over time || 5mL | 2mg/mL | 0.5mL (50 units) | 1.0mL (100 units) | 0.1mL graduations sufficient | 5
- The 2mL ratio (5mg/mL) consistently performs best across precision, sterility, and usability metrics. It produces draw volumes large enough to verify visually but small enough to fit within single-dose injection volumes, minimising both measurement error and contamination risk.
