5 mg vial
ACE-031: a 5 mg vial
What a 5 mg vial of ACE-031 becomes once it is mixed, and what each dose reported in the sources draws to on a syringe. Every figure is arithmetic on the vial size in the heading — none of it is a recommendation, and the doses are the ones our sources describe rather than ones we picked.
Leading with
5 mg + 1 mL bacteriostatic water = 5 mg/mL
Chosen because it puts the reported doses on readable marks of a 1 mL U-100 syringe. Other volumes are perfectly valid — the dilution table further down covers them, and the concentration changes what every dose draws to.
What each reported dose draws to
At 5 mg/mL, on a 1 mL U-100 syringe. Every row names the source it came from, and a trial protocol and a community convention are not the same kind of information.
| Goal | Dose | Units | Doses in this vial | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dose used in the phase 2 trialEvery 2 to 4 weeks · Subcutaneous | 1 mg – 3 mg | 20 units – 60 units | 5 | Clinical trial |
Check every figure against the vial in front of you before drawing. Vials are filled with an overage and labels are not a guarantee. Change any of these numbers in the calculator.
How long a vial lasts
Vials round up, because most of a vial is not a thing you can buy. Only doses with a stated continuous frequency appear here — anything described as a course, a range or “as needed” has no honest weekly rate, so it is left out.
Dose used in the phase 2 trial
Every 2 to 4 weeks
One 5 mg vial holds 1–5 doses at this dose, which is 3–15.2 weeks of use.
| Cycle | Doses | 5 mg vials | Syringes | Bacteriostatic water |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 weeks | 3 | 1–3 | 3 | 1 mL – 3 mL |
| 12 weeks | 4 | 1–4 | 4 | 1 mL – 4 mL |
| 16 weeks | 6 | 2–6 | 6 | 2 mL – 6 mL |
Syringes assume one per dose and no wastage. Water assumes each vial is mixed at 1 mL. Neither accounts for a dropped vial, a bent needle or a dose you decide to change, all of which happen.
If you add a different amount of water
The same 5 mg of compound, at four common volumes. More water means a larger, easier-to-measure draw of a weaker solution; less water means the opposite. The amount of compound you inject is identical in every row — only the volume carrying it changes.
| Water added | Concentration | 1 mg draws to |
|---|---|---|
| 1 mLshown above | 5 mg/mL | 20 units units · 0.2 mL |
| 2 mL | 2.5 mg/mL | 40 units units · 0.4 mL |
| 3 mL | 1.667 mg/mL | 60 units units · 0.6 mL |
| 5 mL | 1 mg/mL | 100 units units · 1 mL |
Storage
Before mixing
Refrigerated at 2–8 °C, protected from light. Do not freeze the clinical formulation.
After mixing
Refrigerated at 2–8 °C. Proteins of this size are more fragile than short peptides — avoid shaking, which denatures them.
Other vial sizes
The same compound, different arithmetic.
Arithmetic on the vial size named above and the doses our sources report. Nothing here is a recommendation, a protocol or medical advice, and no clinician has reviewed it. Speak to a licensed healthcare provider before acting on any of it.
