Example calculation
A 5 mg vial mixed with 2 mL gives 2,500 mcg/mL. A 250 mcg target dose is 0.1 mL, or 10 units on a U-100 syringe.
What this calculator solves
Reconstitution math starts with concentration. Once the vial amount and diluent volume are known, every target dose can be converted into a draw volume.
Use it when you need to turn a dry vial and a chosen water volume into a clear concentration before drawing a dose.
- Concentration = vial amount / diluent volume
- Dose volume = target dose / concentration
- U-100 units = dose volume in mL x 100
When to recalculate
Re-run the calculation whenever vial strength, water volume, target dose, or syringe type changes. Small input changes can produce meaningfully different unit markings.
