tuburculin syringes! ARRG!

Has anyone used tuberculin syringes? They are super confusing; markings on both sides. They are marked in tenths, and are 1 cc/ml total so I am assuming the tenths make up a whole cc. But they have similiar markings on the other side which read in whole numbers but they don't match up. The whole numbers end at 16!

I don't know what the whole numbers are for but I'm going with the .10 markings because they add up to 1 cc/ml. I didn't realize I had ordered these by mistake. It would be easy to misread these if you were in a hurry or hadn't noticed the difference in markings. Especially because they look exactly like insulin syringes!

Hello sus138,
I'm not sure if I can be of assistance, but let me try since I use a TB syringe.
My syringe is a 1 mL/cc size marked only in increments as follows:
.1, .2, .3, .4, .5, .6, .7, .8, .9, 1.0 mL (with ten hashmarks between each number)
~ I mix for a .1 cc injections and store the mixture in a 3 mL large-barrel glass syringe. Each morning I fill the TB syringe with .1 cc of hCG and inject. That means that the fluid in the TB syringe fills from one number to the next, (i.e., .1 to .2 or .2 to .1, however you look at it!).
Based on that detail, I'd ignore whatever the other numbers are and use the side marked as above. Blessings,
Sharin'

Thank you! I finally figured it out, although it took me a min. when I first looked at it. I didn't realize I had ordered those and wasn't expecting the sides to be different! Thanks for confirming!
