    Hi Ya'll,
    Ws wondering if anyone notices a difference in the size of the drop dose using different syringes. I am using bd ultra thin u100 3/10 ml 5/16 31g with 1/2 inch marks but I'm running out. I was wondering if I can use the bd ultra thin u100 1ml 5/16 31g 1 unit mark syringes that I still have instead of buying more syringes. This might be a dumb question, but I just want to make sure.

    I just did 3 tests using the same syringes you have and I would say unequivocally No they are not the same. The drop I got out of the 1ml syringe was considerably larger than the drop from the 3/10ml syringe. The shape of the needle end of the two syringes are very different as well as the overall size of the barrels both length and diameter.

    Thank you! Gee, I guess I could have done that myself. I appreciate it!
