Peptide Dosage Calculator

Enter your vial size, how much bacteriostatic water you reconstituted with, and the research dose you want to deliver. The calculator returns the concentration, the volume to draw, and the reading on a U-100 insulin syringe.

For research-design calculation only. Not medical guidance. Always verify against your own protocol spec before drawing from a vial.

How the math works

Reconstituted concentration equals total peptide mass divided by bac water volume. A 10 mg vial diluted in 2 ml bac water yields 5,000 mcg/ml. A 250 mcg research dose therefore draws 0.05 ml — which reads as 5 units on a U-100 syringe.

Choosing a dilution

Smaller research doses benefit from more dilute reconstitution so the draw volume is easier to measure accurately. Compounds dosed in tens of mcg (ipamorelin, tesamorelin) typically use 2–3 ml. Compounds dosed in mg ranges (semaglutide, tirzepatide) often use 1–2 ml to keep injection volumes small.

Syringe types

U-100 insulin syringes: 100 units = 1 ml. U-40 syringes: 40 units = 1 ml. U-100 is the lab-standard default in most research protocols.
