Lowest Measurable Volume

Hello,
Anyone willing to share rules of thumb or references for the lowest measureable accurate volume your staff is using when preparing medication. Our team has mixed thoughts on this, and since we're a pediatric hospital we often struggle with the cutoff point before having to create a dilution for staff. Also since this is a pediatric hospital, we do have a lot of dilutions which are prepared daily for staff to use.

Thanks.
D.Patrick
