SS-31 (Elamipretide): 50 mg vial with 2 mL water
Quick answer
Adding 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 50 mg SS-31 (Elamipretide) vial gives 25 mg/mL (25000 mcg/mL), so each unit on a U-100 insulin syringe holds 250 mcg. A 250 mcg dose is 1 units (0.01 mL), and the vial holds about 200 doses of that size.
Concentration
- Vial: 50 mg SS-31 (Elamipretide)
- Bacteriostatic water: 2 mL
- Concentration: 25 mg/mL (25000 mcg/mL)
- 1 unit on a U-100 syringe = 250 mcg

Common questions
How many units is 250 mcg of SS-31 (Elamipretide) from a 50 mg vial with 2 mL water?
250 mcg is 1 units (0.01 mL) on a U-100 insulin syringe. With 2 mL of water in a 50 mg vial, each unit holds 250 mcg. For comparison: 300 mcg = 1.2 units, 500 mcg = 2 units, 750 mcg = 3 units.
What is the concentration of a 50 mg SS-31 (Elamipretide) vial mixed with 2 mL of water?
50 mg divided by 2 mL is 25 mg/mL, or 25000 mcg per mL. On a U-100 syringe (100 units = 1 mL) that is 250 mcg per unit.
How many 250 mcg doses are in a 50 mg vial?
About 200. 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 50 mg SS-31 (Elamipretide) vial?
The Crestigen SS-31 (Elamipretide) protocol uses 3 mL. 2 mL works too as long as you calculate units for this concentration (25 mg/mL) and label the vial.
