Syringes are often less accurate than glass pipettes, in my
experiences in the world of biology labs.  But the easy way to
measure small amounts, imho, is the automatic pipette with
disposible tips.  Some models are variable, so you can
set the amount to be delivered.  Put on a tip, depress the
button to the first stop, suck up your liquid, depress the button
to the second stop to deliver the entire volume.

And nothing to wash.  <g>
