Key takeaways

At the reference preset of a 5mg Thymosin Alpha-1 vial reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water, a 1.6mg dose measures 64 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.

Thymosin Alpha-1 is a 28-amino-acid immunomodulatory peptide derived from the thymus.

How to use this calculator
  1. 1. Vial — the peptide amount printed on the vial, in milligrams.
  2. 2. BAC water — the bacteriostatic water added to the vial. More water means a lower concentration and a larger, easier-to-read draw.
  3. 3. Dose — the single dose being measured, in milligrams.
  4. 4. Syringe — the barrel being drawn into. The diagram rescales to that syringe, so the same dose sits at a different mark on a 0.3 mL barrel than on a U-100.
