Laboratory preparation
Reconstitution calculator
Enter what's in the vial, how much bacteriostatic water you add, and the amount you want per draw. Outputs are for preparing research solutions in a laboratory setting — not use instructions.
Desired amount per draw
Concentration
2.5
mg/mL
Draw volume
0.1
mL
Syringe units
10
IU (U-100)
Worked example: a 5 mg vial reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water gives 2.5 mg/mL. A 250 mcg draw is 0.1 mL — the 10 IU line on a U-100 insulin syringe. All figures describe laboratory solution preparation for research use only.
