How Reconstitution Works
Reconstitution makes a powder measurable.
01
Pick water volume
More water creates a lower concentration, which makes small draws easier to measure. Less water creates a stronger solution.
02
Calculate concentration
Divide peptide mass by water volume. A 10mg vial with 2mL water becomes 5mg/mL.
03
Convert to units
Divide the target amount by the concentration. On a U-100 syringe, 1mL equals 100 units, so 0.05mL equals 5 units.
Assumes a 1mL U-100 insulin syringe where 100 units equals 1mL. Change the water volume if your research protocol uses a different concentration.
