    Just thought it was interesting that the line on the test vial indicating 5ml is off by quite a bit. I have been using a 5ml syringe for testing and checked it for the heck of it. HMMMMM???????????

    I trust the syringes more than those lines. The best one I've found is the one that comes with Elos test kits, great syringe.
