Reconstitution calculator · VIP
VIP reconstitution calculator.
Work out the concentration of a reconstituted VIP vial. Presets match the 10 mg format we stock, and the reference table below is calculated for those exact vials. Research use only.
This tool reports concentration only. It is not dosing guidance, and nothing here is for human use.
VIP concentration reference table
Every combination of the VIP vial sizes we stock and the bacteriostatic water volumes people most often add.
| Vial | BAC water | Concentration | Per 100 µL aliquot |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 mg | 1 ml | 10 mg/ml | 1 mg (1,000 mcg) |
| 10 mg | 2 ml | 5 mg/ml | 0.5 mg (500 mcg) |
| 10 mg | 3 ml | 3.333 mg/ml | 0.333 mg (333 mcg) |
| 10 mg | 5 ml | 2 mg/ml | 0.2 mg (200 mcg) |
How the calculation works
Concentration is the mass of peptide divided by the volume of solvent. A vial holding 5 mg reconstituted with 2 ml of bacteriostatic water gives 2.5 mg/ml, so a 100 µL aliquot contains 0.25 mg. The powder itself adds no meaningful volume at these masses, which is why the water volume alone sets the concentration.
Handling in the Vietnamese climate
Sealed lyophilized vials are stable at room temperature in transit, which is why the material ships dry rather than cold. Once reconstituted, the solution is kept refrigerated and shielded from light. Bacteriostatic water is the usual solvent because the benzyl alcohol in it lets a vial be entered more than once.
What is VIP?
Vasoactive intestinal peptide, a 28-amino-acid neuropeptide studied across VPAC receptor signalling systems.
VIP is a 28-amino-acid neuropeptide in the secretin/glucagon peptide family. Laboratory studies examine its signalling through the VPAC1 and VPAC2 receptors and the downstream cyclic-AMP pathways associated with those receptors.
The listed 10 mg vial is a lyophilized research format. This calculator turns a labelled mass and solvent volume into a concentration table for experimental record-keeping; it is not a clinical or therapeutic instruction.

Common questions
What receptors are studied with VIP?
VIP research commonly examines VPAC1 and VPAC2 receptors and their downstream signalling in experimental systems.
What is the VIP concentration table for?
It records the concentration obtained from the labelled vial mass and the entered solvent volume. It is not a treatment or dosing instruction.
How much bacteriostatic water do I add to a VIP vial?
There is no single correct volume. The water volume sets the concentration: more water gives a weaker solution and a larger aliquot for the same mass. Common choices are 1 to 5 ml. Enter your vial size above to see what each volume produces for 10 mg.
What concentration does a VIP vial give?
It depends entirely on the solvent volume. The reference table above lists every combination of the 10 mg vial format and 1, 2, 3 and 5 ml of bacteriostatic water.
Does the powder change the final volume?
Not measurably at these masses. A few milligrams of lyophilized peptide occupies a negligible volume, so the bacteriostatic water you add is effectively the final volume.
Can I use normal water or saline instead?
Bacteriostatic water is the standard solvent for multi-entry vials because it contains a preservative. Sterile water and saline have no preservative, so they are single-entry solvents.
