Vial to Units

80 units to mg

80 units on a U-100 insulin syringe is 0.8 mL. That holds 4 mg when the vial is 5 mg/mL and 8 mg at 10 mg/mL. mg = units ÷ 100 × mg/mL.

Questions

How many mg is 80 units?

80 units on a U-100 syringe is 0.8 mL. Multiply that by the concentration: at 5 mg/mL it is 4 mg, at 10 mg/mL it is 8 mg.

How many mL is 80 units?

0.8 mL. On a U-100 insulin syringe 100 units is 1 mL.

How many mcg is 80 units?

Work out the mg first, then multiply by 1,000. At 5 mg/mL, 80 units is 4 mg, which is 4,000 mcg.

How do I find the concentration of my vial?

Divide the mg printed on the vial by the mL of water that was added. A 10 mg vial with 2 mL added is 5 mg/mL. If the vial was dispensed as a liquid, the mg/mL is printed on the label.
