Calculate the amount of solvent needed to reconstitute your peptide.
How to Use the Calculator
Follow these steps to calculate the volume of solvent needed:
- Enter the peptide mass in milligrams (mg) in the “Peptide Mass” field.
- Enter the desired concentration in milligrams per milliliter (mg/mL) in the “Desired Concentration” field.
- If necessary, click on “Show Advanced Options” to provide additional information such as peptide purity, molecular weight, and unit preferences.
- Click on the “Calculate Volume” button to get the required volume of solvent.
Examples
| Peptide Mass (mg) | Desired Concentration (mg/mL) | Volume of Solvent Required | Resulting Molarity (if MW = 1000 g/mol) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 1 | 5 mL | 5.00×10-3 M |
| 2 | 0.5 | 4 mL | 5.00×10-3 M |
| 10 | 2 | 5 mL | 1.00×10-2 M |
Additional Information
This calculator helps you determine the volume of solvent needed to reconstitute a peptide to a desired concentration. This is essential when preparing peptide solutions for laboratory experiments or medical applications.
Notes:
- If you know the peptide’s purity, you can enter it in the advanced options to get a more accurate calculation, adjusting the mass accordingly.
- Providing the molecular weight allows the calculator to compute the molarity of the solution, which is important for stoichiometric calculations.
- You can change the units of mass and volume in the advanced options to match your requirements (e.g., using micrograms (μg) and microliters (μL)).
