About PepUnits

PepUnits is a free peptide reconstitution calculator for research planning. This page explains what PepUnits does, who built it, and how the math works.

Updated June 2026

Quick summary

  • PepUnits is a free calculator that turns vial mass, diluent volume, and a target amount into a U-100 syringe unit mark.
  • It runs two tools: a single-sample reconstitution calculator and a separate peptide blend calculator. No signup is required.
  • PepUnits is a research-planning math tool. It is not medical advice, and it does not set or recommend a dose.

What PepUnits is

PepUnits is a free peptide reconstitution calculator. You enter a few numbers about your research sample, and it returns the volume to draw and the matching mark on a standard U-100 insulin syringe.

The site runs two tools. The main calculator handles a single peptide in one vial. A separate blend calculator handles a mix of peptides in one vial.

PepUnits is built for research-planning math only. It does not pick a target for you, and it does not give medical advice.

Who made PepUnits

PepUnits was built by Garret Grant, an independent researcher and software engineer. He holds a B.S. in Civil Engineering from UCLA and writes the calculator logic himself.

PepUnits is part of the same research toolset as PepPal and Peptide Dosing Protocols. The goal across all of them is simple math you can check, not marketing claims. Every formula on PepUnits is one he can show on the page so you can verify the result yourself.

Garret is not a doctor, pharmacist, or licensed medical professional, and PepUnits does not provide medical advice.

How the calculator works

The main PepUnits calculator works in four short steps.

  1. Pick your syringe scale: 0.3 mL (30 units), 0.5 mL (50 units), or 1.0 mL (100 units).
  2. Enter the total sample mass in the vial, such as 5 mg or 10 mg.
  3. Enter your target amount in mcg or mg.
  4. Enter the diluent volume, usually bacteriostatic water, in mL.

PepUnits then shows the concentration in mcg/mL, the draw volume in mL, and the matching point on a U-100 syringe. A visual unit scale points to that mark so it is easy to read.

If you use Orbitrex research samples, you can pick a sample from a dropdown to fill in the vial mass, then fine-tune the other fields.

The math behind PepUnits

PepUnits shows its math so you never have to trust a black box. The whole result comes from three plain steps.

First it finds concentration: the total amount in the vial divided by the diluent volume. A 5 mg vial in 1 mL of water is 5,000 mcg/mL.

Then it finds draw volume: your target amount divided by that concentration. A 1 mg target at 5,000 mcg/mL is 0.2 mL.

Last it converts to units: on a U-100 syringe, 1 mL is 100 units, so 0.2 mL is 20 units. That is the mark PepUnits points to.

The blend calculator

The blend calculator is for one vial that holds more than one peptide. You enter each peptide's amount, the shared diluent volume, and a target unit mark.

It returns the draw volume and how much of each peptide is in that draw. This helps when a single vial is pre-mixed, so one draw contains a set ratio of each compound.

Boundaries

What PepUnits does not do

PepUnits is a calculator, so there are clear limits on what it does.

  • It does not set a target amount or recommend one.
  • It does not give medical, dosing, or treatment advice.
  • It does not confirm a peptide is right for any person or use.
  • It does not check the legal status of a compound in your area.

Your target comes from your own protocol or source. For protocol-focused research, a resource like Peptide Dosing Protocols covers that separately.

How PepUnits is different

Many peptide calculators exist, so here is where PepUnits focuses.

  • Unit-first output built around the U-100 syringe mark.
  • A separate blend calculator for multi-peptide vials.
  • Sample presets that fill in the vial mass for you.
  • Free with no account, plus an optional save if you want to reuse a setup.

Research supplies

PepUnits lists a research-sample partner and basic supplies so the math links to real vials.

Frequently asked questions

What is PepUnits?

PepUnits is a free peptide reconstitution calculator for research planning. You enter your vial mass, diluent volume, and target amount, and it returns the draw volume and the matching U-100 syringe unit mark.

Is PepUnits free?

Yes. Both the single-sample calculator and the blend calculator are free with no signup. You can save a calculation if you want to reuse the same setup.

Who made PepUnits?

PepUnits was built by Garret Grant, an independent researcher and software engineer with a B.S. in Civil Engineering from UCLA. He writes and maintains the calculator math himself.

Is PepUnits medical advice?

No. PepUnits is an educational research-planning tool. It does the reconstitution math only and does not set a target, give medical advice, or confirm that any compound is right for a person.

How does PepUnits calculate units?

It divides the vial amount by the diluent volume to get concentration, divides your target by that concentration to get the draw volume in mL, then multiplies by 100 because a U-100 syringe holds 100 units per mL.

Can PepUnits calculate peptide blends?

Yes. A separate blend calculator handles one vial that holds more than one peptide. It returns the draw volume and the amount of each peptide in that draw.

What is a U-100 unit?

A U-100 insulin syringe is marked so that 100 units equal 1 mL, which means 1 unit equals 0.01 mL. PepUnits reports your draw on that same scale.

Does PepUnits sell peptides?

No. PepUnits is a calculator. It links to a research-sample partner and basic supplies, and some links are affiliate links, but PepUnits does not sell products or process orders.
