24 mg vial + 5 mL bacteriostatic water: units chart
A 24 mg vial mixed with 5 mL of bacteriostatic water holds 4,800 mcg per mL. This is a middle-strength mix: each unit holds 48 mcg, so most doses in the table land between 2 and 100 units on a 1 mL syringe.

- Convert the dose to mcgmg × 1,000 = mcg0.25 mg × 1,000 = 250 mcg
- Concentrationvial (mcg) ÷ water (mL) = mcg per mL24,000 mcg ÷ 5 mL = 4,800 mcg/mL (4.8 mg/mL)

Worked example: 500 mcg
- Convert the vial amount to mcg: 24 mg × 1,000 = 24,000 mcg
- Concentration: 24,000 mcg ÷ 5 mL = 4,800 mcg/mL (4.8 mg/mL)
- Volume to draw: 500 mcg ÷ 4,800 mcg/mL = 0.1042 mL
- Units to draw: 0.1042 mL × 100 units/mL = 10.4 units
- Amount in each unit: 4,800 mcg/mL ÷ 100 units/mL = 48 mcg per unit (0.048 mg)
- Doses in the vial: 24,000 mcg ÷ 500 mcg = 48 full doses
Draw 10.4 units on a U-100 syringe, just above the 10-unit mark. The same 500 mcg dose is 6.3 units with 3 mL of water, compared with 10.4 units with 5 mL.
Frequently asked questions
What is the concentration of a 24 mg vial with 5 mL of water?
A 24 mg vial mixed with 5 mL of water holds 4,800 mcg per mL. Each unit on a U-100 syringe holds 48 mcg.
How many units is 500 mcg with a 24 mg vial and 5 mL of water?
It is 10.4 units on a U-100 syringe, which is 0.1042 mL of the mixed liquid.
What is the smallest dose you can measure well with a 24 mg vial and 5 mL of water?
About 96 mcg, which fills 2 units on a U-100 syringe. Smaller amounts are hard to read; a vial mixed with more water spreads them over more units.
What is the largest dose that fits a 1 mL syringe with a 24 mg vial and 5 mL of water?
4,800 mcg, which fills all 100 units of a 1 mL U-100 syringe. Larger doses need more than one draw or a stronger mix.
How many doses does a 24 mg vial with 5 mL of water give?
Divide 24,000 mcg by your dose and round down: 48 full doses of 500 mcg, or 40 of 600 mcg.
