Blend Vial Math: Each Peptide in One Volume

In a blend vial all components dissolve in the same liquid, so any volume contains every component in the vial’s own proportions. Work out each component’s concentration (its amount ÷ the liquid), then multiply by the volume.

One liquid, fixed proportions

each component per mL = component amount ÷ liquid added
each component in a volume = volume × component amount ÷ liquid added

The ratio between components never changes after mixing. A 2:1 vial gives a 2:1 volume, whatever size it is.

Example: an equal two-component blend

5 mg + 5 mg in 2 mL: each component is 2.5 mg/mL. 10 units (0.1 mL) holds 250 mcg of each, 500 mcg combined.

Example: an uneven blend

10 mg A + 5 mg B in 3 mL

Working from one component

To find the volume for a target of one component, use that component alone: volume = target × liquid ÷ that component’s amount. The others come along in proportion. The blend calculator shows them all at once.

Mixed units

mg and mcg components add up exactly. A component in IU only joins totals with its IU factor; without one, it is shown on its own.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get more of one component without the other from a blend?

No. Every volume carries the vial’s fixed ratio.

How do I calculate a three-component blend?

The same way: each component’s amount ÷ the liquid gives its concentration. The calculator handles up to eight components.
