Thymosin Alpha-1 Dosage Calculator: Reconstitution and Units
To calculate Thymosin Alpha-1 dosage, divide your target dose (mg) by the vial concentration. For a 5 mg vial with 2 mL BAC water: concentration is 2.5 mg/mL. A 1 mg dose equals 0.4 mL (40 U-100 units). A 1.5 mg dose equals 0.6 mL (60 U-100 units) on a U-100 insulin syringe.

Common vial and BAC water combinations with calculated concentration, draw volume, and U-100 syringe units. For education only — verify your vial label before use.
| Vial (mg) | BAC water (mL) | Concentration | Dose (mg) | Draw (mL) | U-100 units |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 mg | 2 mL | 2.5 mg/mL | 0.5 mg | 0.2 mL | 20 units |
| 5 mg | 2 mL | 2.5 mg/mL | 1 mg | 0.4 mL | 40 units |
| 5 mg | 2 mL | 2.5 mg/mL | 1.5 mg | 0.6 mL | 60 units |
| 1.5 mg | 1 mL | 1.5 mg/mL | 1.5 mg | 1 mL | 100 units |
How to Calculate Thymosin Alpha-1 Dosage
Three steps convert any vial and BAC water combination into the exact volume to draw on a U-100 insulin syringe.
Step 1 — Calculate concentration (mg/mL)
Divide the total peptide in the vial (mg) by the volume of BAC water you added (mL). For example: a 5 mg Thymosin Alpha-1 vial reconstituted with 2 mL BAC water gives 5 ÷ 2 = 2.5 mg/mL.Step 2 — Calculate draw volume (mL)
Divide your target dose (mg) by the concentration (mg/mL). For a 0.5 mg dose at 2.5 mg/mL: 0.5 ÷ 2.5 = 0.2 mL. This is the exact volume to draw into the syringe.Step 3 — Convert to U-100 syringe units
Multiply the draw volume (mL) by 100. For 0.2 mL: 0.2 × 100 = 20 U-100 units. Read this number on the unit markings of a standard insulin syringe.
Dosage Formula
Concentration formula
Concentration (mg/mL) = Vial mg ÷ BAC water mLDraw volume formula
Draw volume (mL) = Dose (mg) ÷ Concentration (mg/mL)U-100 syringe units
U-100 units = Draw volume (mL) × 100These three formulas apply to any Thymosin Alpha-1 vial, regardless of size. U-100 is the standard insulin-syringe scale: 100 units = 1 mL.

1 mg dose from 5 mg / 2 mL vial
- Vial: 5 mg | BAC water: 2 mL | Target dose: 1 mg
- Concentration: 5 ÷ 2 = 2.5 mg/mL
- Draw volume: 1 ÷ 2.5 = 0.4 mL
- U-100 units: 0.4 × 100 = 40 units
1.5 mg dose from 5 mg / 2 mL vial
- Vial: 5 mg | BAC water: 2 mL | Target dose: 1.5 mg
- Concentration: 5 ÷ 2 = 2.5 mg/mL
- Draw volume: 1.5 ÷ 2.5 = 0.6 mL
- U-100 units: 0.6 × 100 = 60 units
Thymosin Alpha-1 Reconstitution Guide
Thymosin Alpha-1 (Tα1) is an immune-modulating tetradecapeptide typically supplied as a lyophilised powder in 1.5 mg or 5 mg vials. It is generally administered subcutaneously.
- Swab both vial stoppers with alcohol swabs and allow to air dry.
- Draw 2 mL BAC water for a 5 mg vial (yields 2.5 mg/mL) or 1 mL for a 1.5 mg vial (1.5 mg/mL).
- Inject BAC water slowly along the glass wall of the peptide vial.
- Gently swirl until the powder dissolves. Do not shake.
- Store reconstituted Thymosin Alpha-1 at 2–8 °C and use within 4–6 weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard Thymosin Alpha-1 reconstitution?
A 5 mg vial + 2 mL BAC water = 2.5 mg/mL. At this concentration, a 1 mg dose = 0.4 mL = 40 U-100 units; a 1.5 mg dose = 0.6 mL = 60 U-100 units.
How many doses per Thymosin Alpha-1 vial?
A 5 mg vial at 2.5 mg/mL provides approximately 3–5 doses depending on whether you dose at 1 mg or 1.5 mg per injection.
What are U-100 syringe units?
U-100 is the standard scale for insulin syringes. 100 units = 1.0 mL. That means 10 units = 0.1 mL, 50 units = 0.5 mL. Multiply any draw volume in mL by 100 to get the U-100 units reading.
Do I need to recalculate if I change the amount of BAC water?
Yes. Changing BAC water volume changes the concentration (mg/mL), which changes the draw volume for the same mg dose. Always recalculate using: concentration = vial mg ÷ BAC water mL, then draw volume = dose mg ÷ concentration.
What is Thymosin Alpha-1 researched for?
Thymosin Alpha-1 is an endogenous peptide studied for its role in immune system modulation, T-cell maturation, and innate immunity activation. Research use only.
