Buy Insulin Syringes in Australia
Buy insulin syringes in Australia from Macropus Peptides in a 20 pack or a 100 pack, in 0.5 mL and 1 mL barrel sizes. These small, finely graduated syringes with a fixed needle are the standard laboratory tool for drawing bacteriostatic water and measuring the volumes used to reconstitute lyophilised peptides. The 0.5 mL barrel is marked in 50 units and the 1 mL barrel in 100 units, so volumes can be read to a hundredth of a millilitre on the smaller size. Each syringe is supplied sterile and intended for a single use, then disposal in a sharps container. The 20 pack suits a single order of peptides, while the 100 pack costs less per syringe for busy labs. Add them to your peptide and diluent order and the whole parcel ships from local Australian stock together. For laboratory use by adults 18 and over only.

Buy Insulin Syringes Australia: 20 and 100 Packs
Macropus Peptides stocks insulin syringes as the measuring tool that goes with every lyophilised peptide we sell. They come in a 20 pack for occasional use and a 100 pack for laboratories that reconstitute vials every week, and both packs are available in 0.5 mL and 1 mL barrel sizes.
What are insulin syringes
An insulin syringe is a small plastic syringe with a fine needle permanently fixed to the barrel. Because the needle cannot be removed, there is almost no dead space between the plunger and the needle tip, so very little liquid is lost when a volume is drawn and expelled. The barrels are graduated on the U-100 scale, in which 100 units equal 1 mL. In a peptide laboratory, that combination of low dead space and fine markings makes them the usual choice for measuring diluent into a vial through its rubber septum.
0.5 mL and 1 mL insulin syringes: sizes in stock
- **0.5 mL barrel:** marked from 0 to 50 units, with each unit line equal to 0.01 mL. Best for accurate small volumes, such as 0.25 mL or 0.3 mL.
- **1 mL barrel:** marked from 0 to 100 units, typically in two-unit steps of 0.02 mL. Best for drawing 1 mL or 2 mL of diluent in one or two strokes.
Both sizes use a fixed fine-gauge needle suited to piercing vial septa cleanly. The gauge and needle length are printed on each box.

Every syringe is supplied sterile. They are single-use items: once a syringe has been used it is discarded rather than cleaned.
Insulin syringes price: 20 pack or 100 pack
| Option | Price |
|---|---|
| Insulin syringes 20 pack | $19.99 |
| Insulin syringes 100 pack | $74.99 |
The 100 pack works out cheaper per syringe than buying five 20 packs, so it is the sensible buy for groups reconstituting several vials a week. The 20 pack keeps the outlay low for a single order of peptides or a first project.
Insulin syringes for peptides: measuring volumes
The concentration of a reconstituted peptide depends entirely on how much diluent goes into the vial, so accurate measurement matters. Typical volumes and the barrel that suits them:
- 10mg vial at 10 mg per mL: one 1 mL barrel
- 10mg vial at 5 mg per mL: two 1 mL barrels
- 5mg vial at 10 mg per mL: one 0.5 mL barrel
Use a fresh syringe each time a vial septum is pierced, and wipe the septum with an alcohol swab first. The diluent itself is our bacteriostatic water.
Insulin syringe handling and disposal
Never recap a used needle by hand. Drop each syringe straight into a rigid sharps container and seal the container when it reaches the fill line. Full containers go to a council sharps drop-off point or a clinical waste collector, following the rules of your state.
Why buy insulin syringes with your peptide order
Ordering syringes with the peptides and diluent means everything needed to prepare a vial arrives in one parcel from Australian stock, with nothing missing when the work starts. Starter kits in peptide kits already include ten 0.5 mL syringes, and the rest of the consumables range is in lab supplies.
