How much bacteriostatic water for a 1 mg ACE-031 vial?

The amount of water does not change how much ACE-031 is in the vial; it sets the concentration. With 1 mL a 1 mg vial is 1 mg/mL, with 2 mL it is 0.5 mg/mL and with 3 mL it is 0.333 mg/mL. More water makes each unit weaker, so a given amount takes more units to draw.

How many mcg are in one unit of a 1 mg ACE-031 vial?

With 2 mL of water, one unit on a U-100 syringe holds 5 mcg (500 mcg per mL divided by 100). The table above gives the figure for other vial sizes and volumes.

Is this a ACE-031 dosage calculator?

It converts between amounts, volumes and syringe units for ACE-031; it does not suggest how much to use. The ACE-031 guide lists the doses used in published studies, with their sources.

What size are ACE-031 vials?

Across 106 listings in our directory, the most common sizes are 1 mg, 50 mg, 10 mg, 5 mg. Sizes and prices by store are on the ACE-031 price page.

How many units are in 1 mL on an insulin syringe?

A U-100 insulin syringe holds 100 units per mL, so 1 unit is 0.01 mL.

ACE-031 dosage calculator

Pick a ACE-031 vial size, enter the bacteriostatic water added and, if you want, an amount per draw. The calculator gives the concentration and how many units that is on a U-100 insulin syringe. It does arithmetic only and does not suggest an amount.

U-100 syringes · 100 units = 1 mL · 1 mg = 1,000 mcg

Concentration

0.5 mg/mL

5 mcg per unit on a U-100 syringe · 50 mcg per 0.1 mL

Enter an amount per draw to see how many units it is and how many draws the vial holds.

Worked example

A 1 mg ACE-031 vial with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water is 0.5 mg/mL (500 mcg/mL). One unit on a U-100 syringe is 0.01 mL, so each unit holds 5 mcg. To find how many units an amount is, divide the amount in mcg by 5.
