Peptide Calculator: Precise Reconstitution Calculation

Our peptide calculator helps you determine the precise amount of water to mix with your peptide powder for accurate reconstitution. Follow these steps to ensure optimal results:

Step 1: Choose Your Syringe Type

Select the syringe you are using. Different syringes have varying measurement scales, so choosing the correct one ensures the calculator provides accurate results. Common syringe sizes include:

• 1mL syringe: Marked in 10-unit increments (e.g., 10, 20, 30, up to 100 units). Ideal for small volumes that require high precision.
• 3mL syringe: Marked in larger increments, suitable for medium volumes.
• 5mL syringe: Holds the largest typical volume.

Choosing the correct syringe size is crucial for accurate measurement and reconstitution. Smaller syringes allow for more precise measurements, important for smaller volumes.

Step 2: Enter the Peptide Amount

Input the total amount of peptide in your vial. Peptide vials typically come in quantities like 1mg, 5mg, 10mg, or 15mg. If your vial contains a different amount, you can manually enter the exact quantity. This step ensures the calculator knows the total peptide available for reconstitution, which is key for accurate calculations.

Step 3: Add the Water Volume

Enter the volume of bacteriostatic water (sterile water with a small amount of antibacterial agent) you plan to mix with the peptide powder. This volume affects the concentration of the solution. Enter the amount in milliliters (mL). For example, entering 2mL will adjust the solution’s concentration. Adding more water dilutes the peptide solution, while less water increases its concentration.

Step 4: Set Your Desired Concentration

Enter the desired amount of peptide you plan to use per experiment, measured in micrograms (mcg). This allows the calculator to determine the required concentration of the solution based on your research needs. The calculator will then show the necessary volume of the mixed solution to achieve the desired concentration.

Step 5: Review the Visual Meter

Once you have entered all the information, the calculator will display a visual meter, showing the amount of solution you need to draw into your syringe for the correct concentration. Keep in mind that 100 units on the syringe equals 1mL. This visual aid ensures you draw the correct amount, helping make the process simple and minimizing the risk of errors.
