Units are volume, not dose. 10 units is always 0.1 mL — but how much peptide is in that 0.1 mL depends entirely on how much water went into the vial. Work that out with the peptide calculator.

Questions people ask

How many units are in 1 mL?

On a U-100 insulin syringe, 100 units = 1 mL. So 1 unit = 0.01 mL, 10 units = 0.1 mL, 50 units = 0.5 mL. The number is printed on the syringe barrel; a U-40 syringe (rare, veterinary) has 40 units per mL and must not be mixed up with U-100.

How do I convert units to mL?

Divide by 100 on a U-100 syringe: 25 units ÷ 100 = 0.25 mL. To go the other way multiply by 100: 0.3 mL × 100 = 30 units.

Does the number of units tell me how much peptide I am drawing?

No — units measure liquid volume only. The amount of peptide in that volume depends on the concentration you made when you added water (vial mg ÷ water mL). The peptide calculator does both steps.

What do the 0.3 mL, 0.5 mL and 1 mL insulin syringes mean?

Their total capacity: 30, 50 and 100 units respectively. A 0.3 mL syringe has finer markings (often every half unit), which makes small draws easier to read; a 1 mL syringe is needed for draws over 50 units.

Calculators

Vet the supplier yourself

We do not recommend or partner with any peptide supplier. Use the checklist instead: third-party COAs that match your batch and lot, stated purity, clear research-use labeling, real support and proper cold-chain shipping.
