Try to call API to get new ones.

OR

Get a little tube and mark it at 5ml, as that is where the line is one the little tubes, at 5ml.

You might also try a local LFS to see if they happen to carry any. The LFS in my area has them for less than $1.

You need to be careful there I went through a phase of measuring urm, measuring vessels :hyper:

and found that very few actually tallied with each other. The API test tubes didn't tally with medical or a JBL syringe I would say there was a minimum 10% difference! Even the syringes don't match

I seriously considered getting an ISO rated measuring beaker (mainly for 4dkh solution).
