Semax is sold in two vial sizes. The tables below convert vial mass and solvent volume into concentration — nothing more. Choosing a volume is a measurement decision, not a protocol.
These two are frequently ordered together and frequently mixed up once the labels are off. They are different compounds in different vials, each with its own label mass. A concentration worked out for one tells you nothing about the other. If you have both, run the Selank numbers separately.
| Bacteriostatic water added | Concentration | Contained in 10 units | Contained in 20 units |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mL | 5 mg/mL | 0.5 mg | 1 mg |
| 2 mL | 2.5 mg/mL | 0.25 mg | 0.5 mg |
| 3 mL | 1.67 mg/mL | 0.167 mg | 0.333 mg |
| 5 mL | 1 mg/mL | 0.1 mg | 0.2 mg |
| Bacteriostatic water added | Concentration | Contained in 10 units | Contained in 20 units |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mL | 10 mg/mL | 1 mg | 2 mg |
| 2 mL | 5 mg/mL | 0.5 mg | 1 mg |
| 3 mL | 3.33 mg/mL | 0.333 mg | 0.667 mg |
| 5 mL | 2 mg/mL | 0.2 mg | 0.4 mg |
Worked example: a 10 mg vial reconstituted with 2 mL gives 5 mg/mL. Twenty units is 0.2 mL. 0.2 mL × 5 mg/mL = 1 mg.
An insulin syringe is graduated in units, which are a volume marking, not a mass. On both U-100 and U-50 insulin syringes, one unit corresponds to 0.01 mL. The difference is barrel capacity and gradation spacing — not the unit-to-volume relationship. A U-50 holds 0.5 mL across 50 units; a U-100 holds 1.0 mL across 100 units. Both are 100 units per millilitre.
The arithmetic is: mass = (peptide mg ÷ mL of solvent added) × (units × 0.01)
Our reconstitution calculator runs this across a 44-compound library if you would rather not do it by hand.
Sourced fact: The Bacteriostatic Water for Injection label directs: “Do not store reconstituted solutions of drugs for injection unless otherwise directed by the manufacturer of the solute.” The same label describes the product as supplied in “a multiple-dose container from which repeated withdrawals may be made to dilute or dissolve drugs for injection,” preserved with 0.9% or 1.1% benzyl alcohol. [1]
Inference: The widely-quoted 28-day figure describes the multiple-dose container of water, not what you dissolved in it. We traced that rule to its actual source — it is not printed on the FDA label at all — in where the 28-day rule actually comes from.
This is unit-conversion arithmetic for laboratory research planning. It is not medical or veterinary advice, not a protocol, not a recommendation of any volume, and not an instruction to administer anything to any person or animal. Semax is not approved by the FDA for human or veterinary use.

BPC-157 is currently the only compound in our catalogue with completed third-party COA figures published on its page — lot 3CDMQXU, chromatographic purity >99.95%, 99.2% of stated label claim, identity confirmed by HPLC-UV-MS, tested by Krause Analytical. Every other product page, including this one, states plainly that its certificate is pending.
