PEPTIDE MATH

Understand the units

This calculator teaches concentration relationships. It does not recommend a dose or tell you what to inject.

CONCENTRATION5 mg/mL
AMOUNT IN SELECTED VOLUME0.5 mg

On a U-100 syringe, 100 units is 1 mL. “Units” describe volume—not the mass of the compound.

vial amount÷liquid volume=concentration

Milligrams describe mass; milliliters describe volume. 1 mg is 1,000 mcg. International units (IU) describe substance-specific biological activity and are not the same as U-100 syringe markings.
