MT-1dosage & bacteriostatic water calculator — stock concentration and syringe units.
MT-1 (Melanotan I) is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) studied in vitro for melanocortin-receptor and pigmentation research. It ships lyophilized in a 10 mg vial and is reconstituted with bacteriostatic water. This calculator presets MT-1 so you can convert its vial and a water volume into an exact stock concentration and syringe draw.

At 5 mg/mL, draw 0.05 mL to measure 250 mcg.
Molecular weight is informational; the reconstitution math depends only on the mass in the vial and the water you add.
Reconstitute a 10 mg MT-1 vial with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water:

5,000
mcg/mL
To measure 250 mcg at that concentration you would draw 5 units (0.05 mL) on a U-100 insulin syringe. Change the vial size, water, or target in the calculator above for your own numbers.
Stock concentration (mg/mL) for MT-1's vial size at common bacteriostatic-water volumes.
| Vial | 1 mL | 2 mL | 3 mL |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 mg | 10 mg/mL | 5 mg/mL | 3.33 mg/mL |
Multiply mg/mL by 1,000 for mcg/mL. On a U-100 syringe, 1 mL = 100 units.
The volume sets the concentration: 10 mg in 2 mL is 5 mg/mL; 10 mg in 1 mL is 10 mg/mL. Enter your numbers above for the exact draw.
Both are α-MSH analogs and reconstitute by the same mass-over-volume math; they differ in structure and receptor profile, not in how you dissolve them. Use the labeled 10 mg vial mass above.
Refrigerated at 2–8 °C, out of light, in single-use aliquots. Laboratory storage guidance only.
