PEPTIDE CALCULATOR — FAQ
What is a peptide reconstitution calculator?
A tool that converts a peptide vial size and a volume of bacteriostatic water into the solution concentration, the volume to draw for a given target measurement, the equivalent units on an insulin syringe, and the number of measurements per vial. It removes manual arithmetic and rounding errors in research preparation.
How do I calculate peptide concentration?
Divide the peptide mass by the volume of bacteriostatic water added. For example, 10 mg in 2 mL = 5 mg/mL (5,000 mcg/mL). The calculator does this automatically and shows both mg/mL and mcg/mL.
How much bacteriostatic water should I add to a peptide vial?
There is no single correct volume — it is a research-preparation choice. More water gives a lower concentration and a larger, easier-to-measure draw; less water gives a higher concentration and a smaller draw. Common volumes are 1–3 mL per vial. Enter your chosen volume and the calculator returns the resulting concentration.
How do I convert millilitres to insulin syringe units?
On a U-100 insulin syringe, 1 mL = 100 units, so multiply your draw volume in millilitres by 100. A 0.05 mL draw = 5 units. The calculator displays this and shows it on a syringe diagram.
What is the difference between mcg and mg?
1 milligram (mg) equals 1,000 micrograms (mcg). Peptide vials are typically labelled in mg while target measurements are stated in mcg, so conversion is needed — the calculator handles it for you.
