How to calculate peptide dosage

Every peptide research quantity calculation follows the same three-variable formula: vial size in mg, reconstitution volume in mL, and target quantity in mcg or mg. For research purposes only.

1

Enter your vial size

Find the total peptide amount on the vial label and enter it in milligrams (e.g., 10 mg). This is the full quantity of peptide dissolved in your reconstituted solution. Common sizes are 5 mg and 10 mg.

2

Set your BAC water volume

Select or enter how much bacteriostatic water was used in milliliters — choose from 1, 2, 3, or 5 mL presets, or enter a custom amount. More water means a lower concentration and a larger draw volume for the same research quantity. 2 mL or 3 mL is commonly used in research reconstitution.

3

Enter the target research quantity

Type in the target research quantity per administration — in mcg or mg, use the unit toggle to switch. The calculator divides the target quantity by the total vial content, then multiplies by the water volume to give the exact draw volume in milliliters.

Peptide reconstitution chart

A quick reference chart for common peptide vial sizes and how much bacteriostatic water is typically added to each. Most peptide vials are physically 2–3 mL regardless of their mg content, so water amounts here top out at 3 mL. If you're planning to add more than 3 mL, check that your vial is actually big enough to hold it. Enter your own vial size in the calculator above for your exact numbers.

Peptide Dosage Calculator: Reconstitution Guide

Get the right peptide dosage every time by mixing the correct amount of bacteriostatic water into your lyophilized vial to produce a properly reconstituted, research-ready solution.

Use bacteriostatic water (BAC)

Contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol for preservation in research solutions.

Add liquid slowly during reconstitution

Aim down the vial wall, not directly onto lyophilized powder.

Never shake

Gently swirl or roll the vial until fully dissolved.

Peptide calculator formula

This is the exact equation the peptide calculator runs: vial size and BAC water set your reconstitution concentration, then your target dose solves for draw volume.

V=D · WC

V

Draw volume, in mL

D

Target research dose, in mcg

W

BAC water added, in mL

C

Total vial content, in mcg

Enter your own vial size, BAC water volume, and target research quantity in the calculator above to run this formula on your exact numbers.

How to Read Your Syringe

Once the calculator gives you a draw volume in milliliters, you need to locate that measurement on your syringe. Different syringe types use different scales — knowing which one you have prevents dosing errors.

Insulin syringe (U-100)

The most common syringe for peptides. Holds 1 mL, and each mark is 0.01 mL. A dose of 0.25 mL means draw to the 25-unit line.

½ mL insulin syringe (U-50)

Holds 0.5 mL. The marks are more spread out, making small doses easier to measure precisely.

1 mL luer lock syringe

Holds 1 mL, marked directly in mL (no unit conversion). Good for larger doses or a detachable needle.

2 mL luer lock syringe

For doses over 1 mL. Marks are less fine (0.1 mL), so it's a bit less precise for small doses.
