Reconstitution math, solved. Enter the vial size, how much bacteriostatic water you add, and the dose you need — get the exact insulin-syringe units to draw, the concentration per unit, and how many doses the vial yields. Switch to Blend mode for multi-peptide vials, with a per-peptide breakdown of every draw.

This tool does unit math only — it does not recommend compounds or doses. Dose amounts should come from your research protocol.
Step 01
Concentration
Peptide in vial (mg) ÷ bacteriostatic water added (mL) = mg per mL. A 5 mg vial mixed with 2 mL gives 2.5 mg/mL.
Step 02
Draw volume
Desired dose (mg) ÷ concentration (mg/mL) = volume to draw. A 250 mcg dose at 2.5 mg/mL is 0.1 mL.
Step 03
Syringe units
Volume (mL) × 100 = units on a U-100 insulin syringe. 0.1 mL is the 10-unit mark.
Frequently asked questions
How do I use a peptide dosage calculator?
Enter three numbers: the amount of peptide in the vial (mg), the volume of bacteriostatic water you add (mL), and the dose you want to draw (mcg or mg). The calculator returns the concentration of the mixed solution, the exact volume to draw, the corresponding tick mark on a U-100 insulin syringe, and how many doses the vial yields.
What is peptide reconstitution?
Peptides ship as a freeze-dried (lyophilized) powder. Reconstitution means dissolving that powder in a sterile diluent — typically bacteriostatic water — so it can be measured and drawn as a liquid. The amount of water you add sets the concentration of the final solution.
How much bacteriostatic water should I add to a peptide vial?
There is no single correct amount — adding more or less water changes the concentration, not the dose. A practical target is a volume that makes your usual dose land on an easy-to-read syringe mark. Most 2–10 mg vials are reconstituted with 1–3 mL. Use the calculator to preview how different volumes translate to syringe units.
How many units is my dose on an insulin syringe?
U-100 insulin syringes are marked in units, where 100 units equals 1 mL. Multiply your draw volume in mL by 100 to get units. Example: a 5 mg vial reconstituted with 2 mL gives 2.5 mg/mL; a 250 mcg dose is 0.1 mL, which is 10 units.
What is the difference between mg and mcg?
1 milligram (mg) equals 1,000 micrograms (mcg). Vial contents are usually listed in mg while research doses are often quoted in mcg, so unit mix-ups are the most common calculation error — the calculator handles the conversion for you.
How do I calculate doses for a peptide blend?
For a vial containing more than one peptide — like a BPC-157 + TB-500 repair blend or a Semax + Selank cognitive blend — use Blend mode. Enter each peptide's amount in the vial and the total water added, then set your target dose to either the total blend or one specific peptide. The calculator returns the syringe units to draw plus a per-peptide breakdown showing exactly how many mg and mcg of each compound land in that single draw.
How long does a reconstituted peptide vial last?
Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, most peptides are kept refrigerated at 2–8 °C and remain usable for several weeks, though stability varies by compound. Unreconstituted lyophilized vials last far longer when stored cold and away from light. Check the storage notes on each product page.
