Peptide Reconstitution Calculator
Calculate the exact number of units to draw on an insulin syringe for any peptide dose. Enter your vial size, reconstitution volume, and desired dose to get precise measurements.

How It Works
This calculator uses a standard formula to determine the correct volume to draw on a 100-unit insulin syringe:
Concentration (mcg/mL) = Peptide (mg) x 1000 / Water (mL)
Volume (mL) = Desired Dose (mcg) / Concentration (mcg/mL)
Units = Volume (mL) x 100
Note: A 100-unit insulin syringe holds 1 mL total. Each unit marking equals 0.01 mL.
Usage Guidelines
- Always use bacteriostatic water (BAC water) for reconstitution to preserve peptide stability
- Reconstituted peptides should be stored in the refrigerator at 2-8°C (36-46°F)
- Most reconstituted peptides remain stable for 28-30 days when properly stored
- When injecting, aim the BAC water at the vial wall, not directly on the peptide powder, to prevent degradation
- Gently swirl the vial to mix - never shake, as this can damage the peptide structure
