Mass, volume and common lab conversions
Peptide and Lab Unit Converter
Convert the measurements biohackers encounter most often—without pretending that mass, volume, syringe markings and biological activity are interchangeable.

The tool converts only measurements with a defined mathematical relationship. It will not convert IU to mg, syringe units to mg, or mass to volume without compound-specific information.

Mass conversion only—this does not calculate a dose or syringe draw.
Formula: 2 mg × 1,000 = 2,000 mcg
How to use the answer
The conversion factor depends on what is being measured
Metric prefixes are simple; laboratory conversions are analyte-specific. The same mg/dL value does not use the same mmol/L factor for glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides.
Mass
1 mg = 1,000 mcgAnd 1 mcg = 1,000 ng. These conversions do not require a peptide name.
Volume
1 mL = 1,000 µLU-100 syringe markings are a separate calibrated scale: 100 markings equal 1 mL.
Molar units
Molecule-specificmg/dL to mmol/L depends on molecular weight, which is why each analyte has its own factor.
Important limitations
What the number can—and cannot—tell you
Can this convert syringe units into milligrams?+
No. You need the solution concentration. Use the Peptide Reconstitution Calculator when you know the vial amount and liquid volume.
Why can glucose and cholesterol not use the same factor?+
mmol counts molecules, while mg measures mass. Glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides have different molecular relationships, so their conversion factors differ.
Can IU be converted to mcg?+
Not universally. IU expresses biological activity defined separately for a particular substance.
