AFTER CALIBRATION

Use a liquid with a known density (water) to test this.
Put some water in the syringe.
Push out 5mL of water onto a scale. Record the mass in grams.
Repeat step 3 nine more times.
Calculate the volume of water that came out each trial. (Volume = Mass/Density)
Compare each trial the volume of each trial to 5mL. Reproducibility = Actual/Theoretical x 100%
