Enter vial strength, bacteriostatic water volume, and the research amount you need. Results assume a U-100 insulin syringe.
Calculations assume a U-100 insulin syringe (100 units = 1 mL).
Draw 10.0 units on a U-100 syringe.
0.100 mL
10.0 units fits a 30 UI insulin syringe.
Concentration. Divide the peptide amount in the vial by the volume of bacteriostatic water added: concentration (mg/mL) = vial mg ÷ water mL.
Volume to draw. Divide the desired amount (converted to mg — mcg ÷ 1000) by the concentration: volume (mL) = desired mg ÷ concentration.
Syringe units. A U-100 insulin syringe holds 100 units per 1 mL, so units = volume (mL) × 100.
Divide the peptide amount in the vial (mg) by the volume of bacteriostatic water added (mL). A 10 mg vial reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water gives a concentration of 5 mg/mL.
A U-100 insulin syringe holds 100 units per 1 mL. Divide the desired amount (in mg) by the concentration to get the volume in mL, then multiply by 100 to get syringe units.
Any volume works mathematically, but more bacteriostatic water lowers the concentration and increases the volume drawn. Choose a volume that keeps the result within the capacity of a 30, 50, or 100 unit insulin syringe.

Bacteriostatic Water 3 mL is an aqueous research solution containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative. It is intended for controlled laboratory preparation and dilution procedures involving compatible research materials. Research Use Only. Not for Human or Veterinary Use.
Sterile bacteriostatic water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative. Intended exclusively for laboratory and research applications.
Insulin Syringe 0.3 mL — 31G × 1/4″ is a sterile, single-use U-100 syringe featuring a permanently attached 31-gauge, 1/4-inch needle. Its transparent 0.3 mL barrel provides precise graduations, while the reduced dead-space design helps minimize material loss during controlled laboratory handling.
Insulin Syringe 0.5 mL — 31G × 5/16″ is a sterile, single-use U-100 syringe featuring a permanently attached 31-gauge, 5/16-inch needle. Its transparent 0.5 mL barrel provides precise graduations, while the reduced dead-space design helps minimize material loss during controlled laboratory handling.
Alcohol Prep Pads — are sterile, individually wrapped, medium 2-ply pads saturated with 70% isopropyl alcohol. They are designed for convenient skin cleansing before injections, fingersticks and minor procedures.
