Frequently Asked
What BAC water volume gives the cleanest microdose precision for Semax?
A 2 mL reconstitution of a 5 mg Semax vial yields 2500 mcg/mL, which works out to 25 mcg per insulin unit on a 100-unit U-100 syringe. This makes targets like 150 and 300 mcg land on round unit marks instead of fractional half-units, which is the main precision constraint for microgram-scale research dosing.
How many micrograms is one insulin unit of Semax at this dilution?
At 5 mg per 2 mL of BAC water, each unit on a 100-unit insulin syringe (1 unit = 0.01 mL) delivers 25 mcg of Semax. The full draw chart for 150, 300, 600 mcg targets is calculated on this page.
Can I use a different BAC water volume?
Yes. Larger BAC water volumes produce lower mcg/mL concentrations, which improves precision for very small doses but increases the injection volume. The alternative-volume table on this page shows what happens at 1 mL and 3 mL so the precision tradeoff is explicit. Always verify with the main Semax calculator before drawing.
Why does sub-100 mcg precision actually matter?
At the microgram scale, the difference between adjacent insulin unit marks can represent a 50-100% dose change. A single unit error on a target near 100 mcg can double or zero the intended dose. Intranasal protocols deliver 150-300 mcg per actuation; subq research dosing tracks similar microgram precision.
Does the ASCEND main Semax calculator handle these doses too?
The main /calc/semax/ page handles the full dose range for Semax including the milligram presets. This microdose page is a focused entry point for sub-milligram research targets and links into the main calculator with the dilution pre-filled.
