Units per dose at 33.33 mg/mL

Insulin syringes are graduated in hundredths of a millilitre, so units = mL × 100 on a U-100, U-50 or U-30 barrel alike.

How this is calculated

  1. 1 · Concentration

    100 mg ÷ 3 mL = 33.33 mg/mL

    The peptide mass never changes — bacteriostatic water only sets how concentrated the solution is, and therefore how far the plunger travels.

  2. 2 · Volume for a 2 mg dose

    2 mg ÷ 33.33 mg/mL = 0.06 mL

  3. 3 · Insulin units

    0.06 mL × 100 = 6 units

    Every unit on the barrel carries 333.3 mcg at this concentration, so misreading by one unit is a 333.3 mcg error.

The interactive calculator draws this 33.33 mg/mL mix on a scaled U-100 barrel, shows when a draw lands exactly on a printed tick, and works backwards from a target dose to the water volume that makes it land cleanly.

Common questions

How much bacteriostatic water for a 100 mg GHK-Cu vial?
Adding 3 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 100 mg GHK-Cu vial yields 33.33 mg/mL — 333.3 mcg in every insulin unit. The reconstituted vial holds 300 units of solution in total.
How many units is a 2 mg dose of GHK-Cu at 100 mg in 3 mL?
2 mg is 0.06 mL of this mix, which is 6 units on a U-100 insulin syringe (a U-30 barrel is enough).
How many 2 mg doses does a 100 mg vial give?
A 100 mg vial contains 50 full 2 mg doses. Using more or less bacteriostatic water changes the units you draw, never the number of doses in the vial.
