How to use it

  1. Peptide per vial (mg) — the total peptide mass in the vial you're reconstituting. This is on the label (e.g. Tirzepatide 10 mg).
  2. Bacteriostatic water (mL) — how much BAC water you're adding to the vial. Most researchers use 1–3 mL. More water makes each unit smaller (finer control, larger draw volume).
  3. Desired dose (mcg) — the amount of peptide you want in a single shot. Refer to your protocol.
  4. Syringe size — the capacity of the insulin syringe you'll use. 1 mL = 100 IU.

What the outputs mean

  • Concentration — mg of peptide per mL of solution.
  • Draw to syringe — insulin units to fill the syringe to. If this exceeds your syringe's capacity, you'll see a warning to split into two draws or use a larger syringe.
  • Volume per dose — the mL equivalent of that unit reading, for researchers who prefer volumetric dosing.
  • Doses per vial — the whole number of full doses a vial yields at the inputs above.

A quick example

10 mg Tirzepatide reconstituted with 2 mL of BAC water gives a concentration of 5 mg/mL. A 2.5 mg (2 500 mcg) dose is 0.5 mL, or 50 insulin units on a 1 mL syringe. The vial yields four doses at this schedule.
