Agreed, but a SDS i found online states a relative density of 1.209 g/cm3, which is equivalent to 1.209 g/ml. So, 2.4g should be 2 ml.

Try counting 40 drops into a cup on a gram scale and see how much each one weighs. Try doing the same with a syringe. I find weight to be the best method for me. My scale reads 0.01g. 1.209g/mL is what I use.
