Peptide Reconstitution Calculator - assumptions and limitations

What this calculator does, what it does not do, and the arithmetic behind every output. Every formula is currently labelled as a placeholder until clinician-reviewed. Read this before using any number with a real medication.

Assumptions

  • Pure arithmetic only

    This calculator performs unit conversions and concentration math. It does not model peptide pharmacokinetics, stability, or protocol guidance.

  • Powder displacement

    Powder displacement defaults to 0 mL. For most peptides this is a small correction; enable it under Advanced if your peptide ships with a known displacement value.

  • U-100 syringe estimate

    Insulin-syringe units use the standard factor of 100 units/mL (1 unit = 0.01 mL). Confirm against your specific syringe markings before drawing.

  • Doses per vial rounds down

    Doses per vial floors to whole doses based on the peptide amount and target dose. Days of supply uses full doses only; partial-dose remainder is not counted.

  • BAC water labelling and storage

    Always label reconstituted vials with concentration, date, and storage location. This tool does not determine beyond-use dates.

Formulas used

Each output is derived from one of the formulas below. They run client-side, so what you see in the calculator is what the math actually does.

  1. 1. Final volume (mL)

    final_volume_mL = bac_water_mL + displacement_mL
  2. 2. Concentration (mg/mL)

    concentration_mg_per_mL = peptide_vial_mg / final_volume_mL
  3. 3. Draw per dose (mL)

    draw_mL = target_dose_mg / concentration_mg_per_mL
  4. 4. U-100 syringe units (estimate)

    units = draw_mL * 100
  5. 5. Reverse mode: BAC water needed

    bac_water_mL = (peptide_vial_mg * desired_draw_mL / target_dose_mg) - displacement_mL
  6. 6. Doses per vial

    doses_per_vial = floor(peptide_vial_mg / target_dose_mg)
  7. 7. Days of supply

    days_of_supply = doses_per_vial * interval_days
