Concentration = 5 mg × 1000 mcg/mg ÷ 2 mL = 2500 mcg/mL

Volume per dose = 250 mcg ÷ 2500 mcg/mL = 0.1 mL

Units on insulin syringe = 0.1 mL × 100 u/mL = 10 units

Total doses per vial = vial total ÷ dose = 20 doses

How to reconstitute a peptide vial

Six steps from sealed lyophilized vial to a properly stored, ready-to-dose solution.

  1. 1

    Calculate the water volume

    Use the calculator above to decide how many mL of bacteriostatic water to add — common volumes are 1, 2, or 3 mL. Smaller volume → higher concentration → smaller pull.

  2. 2

    Sanitise both vial tops

    Wipe the rubber stopper on both the peptide vial and the bacteriostatic water vial with a fresh alcohol swab. Let air-dry for 30 seconds.

  3. 3

    Draw the bacteriostatic water

    Pull the calculated water volume into a 1 mL insulin syringe. Tip the bacteriostatic water vial upside down to draw fully without sucking air.

  4. 4

    Inject down the side of the peptide vial

    Angle the needle so the water runs down the inside wall of the peptide vial. Do not spray water directly onto the powder — high pressure can denature the peptide.

  5. 5

    Swirl gently — never shake

    Roll the vial between your palms or gently swirl until the powder fully dissolves. Shaking creates foam and can damage delicate peptide bonds.

  6. 6

    Label and refrigerate

    Write the reconstitution date on the vial. Store at 2-8°C. Most reconstituted peptides remain stable for 28 days in bacteriostatic water.

Frequently asked

How does a peptide dosage calculator work?

A peptide dosage calculator converts the vial size (mg or IU), the volume of bacteriostatic water you reconstitute it with, and your target dose into the exact pull volume on an insulin syringe. The formula is: pull volume (mL) = dose (mcg) ÷ (vial size (mcg) ÷ water volume (mL)). PinnyPeptide expresses the result both in mL and in insulin units (100 units = 1 mL) so you can read it directly off the syringe barrel.

How many units is 250 mcg of a 5 mg peptide reconstituted in 2 mL?

A 5 mg vial reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water has a concentration of 2,500 mcg/mL. A 250 mcg dose is therefore 0.1 mL, which is 10 units on a 0.5 mL insulin syringe.

Which insulin syringe should I use for peptides?

For doses under 30 units, use a 0.3 mL (30 u) syringe — the wider tick spacing makes small pulls more precise. For 30-50 unit pulls use a 0.5 mL syringe. Reserve the 1 mL syringe for unusually large pulls or for the reconstitution step itself. Needle gauge for subcutaneous peptides is typically 29-31 G, length 5/16″ or 1/2″.

Does the calculator support IU-dosed peptides like HCG or growth hormone?

Yes. Switch the unit type to IU and enter the vial total in IU and the dose in IU. The math is unit-agnostic — concentration is calculated in IU/mL and pull volume is converted to insulin syringe units.

How long is a reconstituted peptide good for?

Most peptides reconstituted in bacteriostatic water (which contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative) remain stable for 28 days refrigerated at 2-8°C. Peptides reconstituted in plain sterile water without preservative should be used within 24-72 hours. Always protect from light and avoid freezing reconstituted solutions.
