Free calculator for reconstituting lyophilized research peptides. Given the vial
mass, the diluent volume (e.g. bacteriostatic water), and a target amount per
dose, it returns the solution concentration, the exact draw volume in mL and
U-100 insulin syringe units, and the number of doses per vial — with warnings
for impractical draws (under 5 units), syringe overflow, and over-volume vials.

## Formulas

- Concentration (mcg/mL) = vial mass (mg) × 1,000 ÷ diluent volume (mL)
- Draw volume (mL) = target amount (mcg) ÷ concentration (mcg/mL)
- Syringe units (U-100) = draw volume (mL) × 100
- Doses per vial = vial mass (mcg) ÷ target amount (mcg)
- Diluent for a target draw (mL) = vial mass (mcg) × target draw (mL) ÷ target amount (mcg)

## Worked example

5 mg vial + 2 mL bacteriostatic water → 2,500 mcg/mL. A 250 mcg target amount
→ 0.1 mL = 10 units on a U-100 syringe; 20 doses per vial.

## Accuracy notes

- Draws under ~5 units are difficult to measure accurately on a U-100 syringe — add more diluent.
- Standard research vials hold ~3 mL; larger diluent volumes need a bigger vessel.
- Vial contents include water and counterions; exact quantitative work applies the net peptide content correction from the batch certificate of analysis.
