Peptide Calculator

Enter what you have and what you want to give. The ARCulator returns the volume, and where that volume sits on a U-100 syringe.

This works out one thing: how far to draw the syringe. It does not know what compound you have, what amount is appropriate, or how often anything is given โ€” it converts three numbers you supply into a fourth. Every figure you enter is yours.

What it calculates?

A vial holds a mass. You add a volume of liquid. That gives a strength โ€” milligrams per millilitre. From there, any amount you want to give has a volume, and that volume has a position on the barrel.

  1. Strength of compound โ€” the mass printed on the vial, in milligrams.
  2. Water added โ€” how much liquid you put in, in millilitres. This is your choice, and it decides everything downstream.
  3. Dose โ€” the amount you intend to give, in milligrams or micrograms.

It returns the strength of the solution, the volume that amount occupies, and the reading in units on a U-100 syringe โ€” with the syringe drawn so you can see where the mark falls.

Pick a water volume that gives a whole number. Five milligrams into 2.5 mL is 2 mg/mL, and ten units is then 200 mcg. The same vial filled to 3 mL is 1.67 mg/mL, and every draw becomes a calculation. The buttons offer the volumes that divide cleanly; the field takes anything.

If a reading comes out under about 5 units, the solution is too strong for that amount. Add more liquid, or use a finer barrel. Carriers & Delivery covers what each barrel resolves.
