Printable reconstitution reference sheet
A two-page PDF of the vial math on this site, for the bench or the fridge door. Math and handling only: it never suggests an amount.
What's on it
- The three formulas, with a worked line of arithmetic
- Syringe scales: U-100 (1, 0.5 and 0.3 mL) and U-40, and how each barrel is marked
- A concentration grid for 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 50 mg vials at 1, 2, 3, 5 mL of water
- A unit-slip checklist: mcg vs mg, U-40 vs U-100, between-mark readings, blends, salt forms, dead space
- General storage and handling notes for lyophilized and reconstituted materials
- Four cut-out vial labels: compound, vial mg, water mL, concentration, date mixed
A slice of the grid
Each cell is the concentration and what one U-100 unit holds.
