Enter the volume of water added
The calculator will show how much to draw in your syringe
Why is water volume important?
The amount of water determines the
concentration of your solution. For example:
5 mg vial with 1 mL water = 0.5 mg per 0.1 mL
5 mg vial with 2 mL water = 0.25mg per 0.1 mL
10 mg vial with 2 mL water = 0.5 mg per 0.1 mL
