The Pepcore catalogue does not list this vial size. Enter the price you pay per vial to calculate costs.
Price per vial: the price you enter.
How it works
- Cost per mg = price / vial mass.
- Cost per aliquot = cost per mg x target amount in mg.
- Aliquots per vial = vial mass in mcg / target amount.
- Vials needed for N aliquots = N / aliquots per vial, rounded up to whole vials (N is the number of aliquots you enter).
Frequently asked questions
How is the price per mg worked out?
The price you enter for the vial divided by the vial size in mg.
How is the cost of one aliquot worked out?
The price per mg times the target amount in mg (the target in mcg divided by 1000). The vial holds the vial mass in mcg divided by the target amount in aliquots.
How many vials are needed for a number of aliquots?
The number of aliquots divided by the aliquots in one vial, rounded up to whole vials. Change the number of aliquots or the target amount to recalculate.
