Vial
The small bottle a peptide comes in; its contents and size feed the dosing math.
A vial is the sealed container a peptide or medication is stored in. Its labeled amount (for example, in milligrams) and the liquid you add during reconstitution determine the concentration of the finished solution.
PeptideWiz records the vial amount and units as part of a protocol so the calculator and your inventory stay accurate.

Frequently asked questions
What is a vial in the context of peptides?
A vial is the small sealed bottle a peptide is supplied in, typically containing a freeze-dried powder that is later dissolved during reconstitution. Its labeled contents and size are the starting numbers for any dosing math. In PeptideWiz you record these details in your inventory so calculations reflect what you actually have.
How do a vial's contents feed the dosing math?
The amount of peptide stated on the vial, combined with the volume of liquid you add during reconstitution, determines the solution's concentration, which in turn drives figures like syringe units. If the recorded vial amount is inaccurate, everything calculated from it will be too. PeptideWiz performs this arithmetic for general education and does not recommend amounts to use.
How should a peptide vial be stored?
Storage depends on the specific product and whether it has been reconstituted, and the appropriate conditions are stated on the product labeling or by a provider. PeptideWiz lets you log vials and their dates in your inventory to help you stay organized. The app does not set storage requirements or judge whether a vial's contents remain suitable to use.
What is the difference between a single-dose and multi-dose vial?
A single-dose vial is intended to be used once, while a multi-dose vial contains a preservative that allows it to be entered more than once within a labeled period. Which type you have is stated on the product labeling, and how it should be handled is guided by that labeling and your provider. PeptideWiz simply helps you track the vials you record, for general education only.
Does the vial size change how much I should take?
Vial size and stated contents are inputs to the calculation of concentration and volume, but they do not determine an appropriate amount to use, which is a medical decision. PeptideWiz uses the vial figures you enter to show the underlying math for general education. Any decision about whether or how much to use should be made with a licensed healthcare provider.
