Find the numbered major markings on the barrel

Each small line usually equals 0.01 mL or 0.02 mL, depending on the syringe type
Each larger line usually equals 0.1 mL
The full syringe equals 1.0 mL
Align your reading at eye level
Read from the syringe’s measurement line, not from the plunger tip
Confirm the unit is mL, not units or cc
If unsure, check the syringe packaging or manufacturer markings
