Peptide Reconstitution Calculator

Calculate concentration, required liquid volume, and the corresponding U-100 syringe setting.

U-100 reference: 1 unit = 0.01 mL · 100 units = 1.00 mL.

Calculator

Enter the amount of research material originally in the vial. mL Enter the total volume of bacteriostatic water used to prepare the solution. Enter the amount you want the calculator to convert into liquid volume and U-100 syringe units.
This calculator converts based on the values you enter. It does not determine or recommend a research amount.

How the Calculator Works

A simple two-step process to understand concentration, liquid volume, and the corresponding U-100 syringe setting.

Find the concentration

Divide the amount of research material by the total volume of BAC water to find the concentration of your solution.

Concentration (mg/mL) =
Amount (mg) ÷ BAC water volume (mL)

Convert to liquid volume and U-100 units

Divide your desired amount by the concentration to find the liquid volume in mL. Then convert the liquid volume to U-100 syringe units.

Volume (mL) = Desired amount (mg) ÷ Concentration (mg/mL)

U-100 units = Volume (mL) × 100

Quick Calculation Examples

Here are some common examples to show how the calculator works.

10 mg in 2 mL

A vial containing 10 mg of research material prepared with 2 mL of BAC water produces a concentration of 5 mg/mL.

Concentration = 10 mg ÷ 2 mL
= 5 mg/mL

500 mcg = 0.10 mL = 10 units

500 mcg target

Using a 5 mg/mL solution, calculate the liquid volume and U-100 syringe setting for a 500 mcg target amount.

500 mcg = 0.5 mg
0.5 mg ÷ 5 mg/mL = 0.10 mL
= 10 units

1 mg target

Using a 5 mg/mL solution, calculate the liquid volume and U-100 syringe setting for a 1 mg target amount.

1 mg ÷ 5 mg/mL = 0.20 mL
= 20 units

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions about peptide reconstitution and using this calculator.

There are 1,000 mcg in 1 mg. For example, 0.5 mg is equal to 500 mcg.

On a U-100 syringe, 1 unit equals 0.01 mL. That means 10 units equals 0.10 mL, 50 units equals 0.50 mL, and 100 units equals 1.00 mL.

No. Adding more BAC water changes the concentration of the solution, but it does not change the total amount of research material in the vial.

Because changing the BAC water volume changes the concentration. A more diluted solution requires a larger liquid volume to represent the same amount of research material, while a more concentrated solution requires less liquid volume.

No. This calculator only converts the values you enter into concentration, liquid volume, and U-100 syringe units. It does not determine or recommend an appropriate research amount or protocol.
