FAQ
- How do I calculate the concentration of a reconstituted peptide solution?
- Divide the vial's powder amount (mg) by the volume of bacteriostatic water added (mL). For example, 10 mg ÷ 2 mL = 5 mg/mL. A reconstitution calculator automates this instantly from the values you enter.
- How many U-100 syringe units equal a given draw volume of reconstituted solution?
- A U-100 syringe marks 100 units per mL, so units and volume are directly proportional. The calculator converts your target volume to units automatically, removing manual conversion steps at the lab bench.
- Do all peptides dissolve in bacteriostatic water, or are other solvents needed?
- Not all. Some compounds can gel or require an acidic solvent for proper dissolution. The Peptide Reference Library flags which compounds need alternative solvents or special lab-bench handling before reconstitution.
