SS-31 reconstitution chart

How many units to draw for SS-31 on a U-100 insulin syringe, for every common vial size and water amount.

Updated October 29, 2026

These charts are arithmetic for a U-100 insulin syringe (1 unit = 0.01 mL), not dose recommendations. Use the dose from your own protocol, and double-check every draw.

Quick answer

A SS-31 50 mg vial mixed with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water is 25 mg per mL. Every unit on a U-100 syringe is 0.01 mL, so 10 units = 2.5 mg and 1 mg = 4 units. Change the water and every number changes, which is why "how many units" only makes sense next to the vial size and the water.

How to read the chart

strength (mg per mL) = mg in vial ÷ mL of water
mg in a draw = units ÷ 100 × strength
units for a dose = dose (mg) ÷ strength × 100

More water makes each unit weaker, so the same dose takes more units and is easier to measure. The water never changes how much SS-31 is in the vial, only how many units each dose is.

Track your SS-31 vials

Enter your vial and water once and PepKeep does this math at every dose: the reminder shows the exact units to draw, each logged dose comes out of the vial, and you see how many doses are left, the day it runs out, and what each shot costs. It works for step-up plans and on/off cycles too, on iPhone, Android and desktop. Try it free for 7 days, no card needed.

Questions

How many units is 1 mg of SS-31 in a 50 mg vial with 2 mL of water?

4 units on a U-100 syringe. 50 mg ÷ 2 mL = 25 mg per mL, and 1 mg ÷ 25 mg per mL = 0.04 mL, which is 4 units.

How much bacteriostatic water should I add to SS-31?

Any amount that makes your dose easy to read on your syringe. More water means more units per dose; it never changes how many mg are in the vial. Pick a water amount, then use the chart or calculator to see where your dose lands.

Does the syringe size change the units?

No. On every U-100 insulin syringe, 1 unit is 0.01 mL. A 0.3 mL or 0.5 mL syringe just holds fewer units; each unit is the same size.

Is this a dosing guide?

No. It converts mg, mL and units. It doesn't recommend a dose; use the one from your own protocol and clinician.
