Peptide Calculator (concentration, volume and syringe units)

Last updated . Reviewed by The Peptide Directory Editorial Team

A 10 mg vial with 2 mL of diluent is 5 mg/mL, so 0.25 mg occupies 0.05 mL — 5 units on a U-100 syringe.

Also called: peptide reconstitution calculator, peptide dosage calculator, peptide units calculator.

Worked example

Example: 10 mg vial + 2 mL → 5 mg/mL; 0.25 mg ÷ 5 = 0.05 mL = 5 units.

How it works

  1. 1. Concentration

    Divide the vial content (mg) by the diluent volume (mL) to get mg/mL.

  2. 2. Volume

    Divide the amount you need (mg) by the concentration to get mL.

  3. 3. Syringe units

    Multiply mL by 100 for units on a U-100 syringe.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate peptide units?

Concentration = vial mg ÷ diluent mL; volume = amount ÷ concentration; units = volume × 100 on a U-100 syringe.

Does the amount of water change the dose?

No. Water only changes concentration, and therefore how many units hold a given amount. The amount in the vial is fixed.

Does this calculator recommend a dose?

No. It converts numbers you enter. Dosing decisions belong to a licensed clinician.
