A vial's mg is the total mass of peptide it contains. A dose is a smaller amount used in a single research application. Concentration, set when you reconstitute, is what connects the total to the per-use amount.
What the vial mg means
When a vial is labeled 10 mg, that is the total amount of peptide inside. It says nothing yet about individual amounts; it is the whole supply in that vial.
Where concentration comes in
The bridge between the two is concentration. When you reconstitute the vial with a known volume of bacteriostatic water, you set a concentration in mg per mL. Divide the amount you want by that concentration and you get the volume to draw.
| Term | What it is |
|---|---|
| Vial mg | Total peptide mass in the vial |
| Concentration | mg per mL after reconstitution |
| Draw amount | Volume for a single research amount |
Let the calculator do the math
Enter vial strength and water volume for concentration, draw units, and amounts per vial.
Key takeaways
- Vial mg is the total peptide mass in the vial, not a dose.
- A dose is a single research amount drawn from the vial.
- Concentration (mg/mL), set at reconstitution, connects the two.
- A calculator converts vial strength and water volume into draw amounts.
A note on research use
The peptides supplied by Axis Peptide Labs are reference compounds for laboratory and research use only. They are intended for qualified researchers working in academic, institutional, and analytical settings. They are not drugs, foods, cosmetics, or medical products, and they are not intended for human or veterinary consumption. Documented identity and documented purity are what matter most when sourcing a compound, both of which are published on the Axis certificates of analysis page.
