PEG-MGF: 2 mg vial with 1 mL water
Quick answer
Adding 1 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 2 mg PEG-MGF vial gives 2 mg/mL (2000 mcg/mL), so each unit on a U-100 insulin syringe holds 20 mcg. A 200 mcg dose is 10 units (0.1 mL), and the vial holds about 10 doses of that size.
Concentration
- Vial: 2 mg PEG-MGF
- Bacteriostatic water: 1 mL
- Concentration: 2 mg/mL (2000 mcg/mL)
- 1 unit on a U-100 syringe = 20 mcg
PEG-MGF dose to syringe units
| Dose | Syringe units (U-100) | Volume | Doses per vial |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 mcg | 2.5 units | 0.025 mL | 40 |
| 100 mcg | 5 units | 0.05 mL | 20 |
| 200 mcg (protocol dose) | 10 units | 0.1 mL | 10 |
| 250 mcg | 12.5 units | 0.125 mL | 8 |
| 300 mcg (protocol dose) | 15 units | 0.15 mL | 6 |
| 400 mcg (protocol dose) | 20 units | 0.2 mL | 5 |
| 500 mcg (protocol dose) | 25 units | 0.25 mL | 4 |
| 750 mcg | 37.5 units | 0.375 mL | 2 |

Common questions
How many units is 200 mcg of PEG-MGF from a 2 mg vial with 1 mL water?
200 mcg is 10 units (0.1 mL) on a U-100 insulin syringe. With 1 mL of water in a 2 mg vial, each unit holds 20 mcg. For comparison: 300 mcg = 15 units, 400 mcg = 20 units, 500 mcg = 25 units.
What is the concentration of a 2 mg PEG-MGF vial mixed with 1 mL of water?
2 mg divided by 1 mL is 2 mg/mL, or 2000 mcg per mL. On a U-100 syringe (100 units = 1 mL) that is 20 mcg per unit.
How many 200 mcg doses are in a 2 mg vial?
About 10. The water volume changes how many units each dose takes, not how many doses the vial holds.
How much water should I add to a 2 mg PEG-MGF vial?
The Crestigen PEG-MGF protocol uses 3 mL. 1 mL works too as long as you calculate units for this concentration (2 mg/mL) and label the vial.
