How to Use This Calculator
- Identify the peptides and their vial sizes: List each peptide you plan to combine and its mass in mg. Enter each vial size into the calculator.
- Enter the diluent volume for each peptide: Input how much BAC water (or other diluent) you add to each vial before combining. This sets the individual concentrations.
- Enter volumes to combine: Specify how much of each reconstituted solution you will draw into the final blend. The calculator tracks total volume and each component's share.
- Review final blend concentration: The calculator returns the concentration of each peptide in the combined solution (mcg/mL) and the total volume.
- Calculate per-dose draw volume: Enter the target dose for each peptide. The calculator determines the draw volume that delivers both doses simultaneously from the blend.
Example Calculation — BPC-157 + TB-500 Blend
A researcher wants to combine 250 mcg BPC-157 and 500 mcg TB-500 in a single injection.
Setup:
- BPC-157: 5 mg vial + 2 mL BAC water = 2,500 mcg/mL
- TB-500: 5 mg vial + 2 mL BAC water = 2,500 mcg/mL
| Peptide | Target dose | Concentration | Volume to draw | U-100 units |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BPC-157 | 250 mcg | 2,500 mcg/mL | 0.10 mL | 10 units |
| TB-500 | 500 mcg | 2,500 mcg/mL | 0.20 mL | 20 units |
| Combined | — | — | 0.30 mL total | 30 units |
Diluent Choice Reference
| Diluent | pH | Preservative | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bacteriostatic water (BAC) | ~5.7 | 0.9% benzyl alcohol | Most peptides — multi-use vials |
| Sterile water for injection | ~6.0 | None | Single-use only |
| Sterile saline (0.9% NaCl) | ~5.5 | None | IV use, some peptides |
| Acetic acid (0.1%) | ~3.4 | None | Poorly soluble peptides (GH, some GFs) |
