30 mg vial + 5 mL bacteriostatic water: units chart
A 30 mg vial mixed with 5 mL of bacteriostatic water holds 6,000 mcg per mL. This is a middle-strength mix: each unit holds 60 mcg, so most doses in the table land between 2 and 100 units on a 1 mL syringe.

- Convert the vial amount to mcgmg × 1,000 = mcg30 mg × 1,000 = 30,000 mcg
- Convert the dose to mcgmg × 1,000 = mcg0.25 mg × 1,000 = 250 mcg
- Concentrationvial (mcg) ÷ water (mL) = mcg per mL30,000 mcg ÷ 5 mL = 6,000 mcg/mL (6 mg/mL)
- Volume to drawdose (mcg) ÷ concentration (mcg/mL) = mL250 mcg ÷ 6,000 mcg/mL = 0.0417 mL
- Units to drawmL × units per mL = units0.0417 mL × 100 units/mL = 4.2 units
- Amount in each unitmcg per mL ÷ units per mL = mcg per unit6,000 mcg/mL ÷ 100 units/mL = 60 mcg per unit (0.06 mg)

Worked example: 600 mcg
- Convert the vial amount to mcg: 30 mg × 1,000 = 30,000 mcg
- Concentration: 30,000 mcg ÷ 5 mL = 6,000 mcg/mL (6 mg/mL)
- Volume to draw: 600 mcg ÷ 6,000 mcg/mL = 0.1 mL
- Units to draw: 0.1 mL × 100 units/mL = 10 units
- Amount in each unit: 6,000 mcg/mL ÷ 100 units/mL = 60 mcg per unit (0.06 mg)
- Doses in the vial: 30,000 mcg ÷ 600 mcg = 50 full doses
Draw to the 10-unit mark on a U-100 syringe. The same 600 mcg dose is 6 units with 3 mL of water, compared with 10 units with 5 mL.
Frequently asked questions
What is the concentration of a 30 mg vial with 5 mL of water?
A 30 mg vial mixed with 5 mL of water holds 6,000 mcg per mL. Each unit on a U-100 syringe holds 60 mcg.
How many units is 600 mcg with a 30 mg vial and 5 mL of water?
It is 10 units on a U-100 syringe, which is 0.1 mL of the mixed liquid.
What is the smallest dose you can measure well with a 30 mg vial and 5 mL of water?
About 120 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 30 mg vial and 5 mL of water?
6,000 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 30 mg vial with 5 mL of water give?
Divide 30,000 mcg by your dose and round down: 50 full doses of 600 mcg, or 40 of 750 mcg.
