DSIP Reconstitution Calculator
Delta sleep-inducing peptide, a nonapeptide studied in sleep and neurological research. This page works out concentration, volume per measured amount, syringe units and preparations per vial for a reconstituted DSIP preparation, plus the mass-to-molar conversions for its stated molecular weight. Everything runs in your browser; plan entries stay in this browser, with optional device-local saving and calendar export.

Syringe capacity
Whole administrations exclude dead space, handling losses and expiry. A calculated quantity is not a guarantee of usable supply. No rounding to a nearby syringe mark is performed.
Protocol schedule
Schedule an existing prescribed or approved protocol. This tool cannot determine how often you can safely take a peptide. Frequency, dose, reconstitution, storage and discard instructions must come from the product label and your clinician or pharmacist.
04 / Your calendar
Complete your calculation and timing to build a schedule.

A separate worked example, step by step
This separate arithmetic example uses a 5 mg vial, 2 mL of bacteriostatic water, and a 250 mcg target amount. They are not a property of DSIP and not an amount anyone should draw — these figures only illustrate the arithmetic.
- Concentration. 5 mg ÷ 2 mL = 2.5 mg/mL (2,500 mcg/mL), which for DSIP is approximately 2.945 mM at its stated molecular weight.
- Per syringe unit. A U-100 syringe divides 1 mL into 100 units, so one unit holds 2,500 mcg ÷ 100 = 25 mcg.
- Volume for the 250 mcg target. 250 mcg ÷ 2,500 mcg/mL = 0.1 mL, or 10 units on that syringe.
- Preparations per vial. 5,000 mcg ÷ 250 mcg = 20 preparations.

Mass and molar equivalents for DSIP
Derived from the molecular weight recorded on the DSIP entry: 848.8 g/mol. Concentration in molar units is what an in-vitro protocol is usually specified in.
| Quantity | Molar equivalent |
|---|---|
| 1 mg of DSIP | 1,178 nmol (1.178 µmol) |
| 1 mcg of DSIP | 1.178 nmol |
| A 1 mg/mL solution | 1.178 mM (1,178 µM) |
Molar amount = mass ÷ molecular weight. Figures are shown to four significant digits and are a unit conversion, not a measurement.
Reconstitution recorded for DSIP

Handling questions for DSIP
What does DSIP's short half-life imply for research design?
DSIP is reported to have a serum half-life on the order of only several minutes and limited in vitro stability. This short exposure, combined with the observation that effects may involve carrier-protein complexes or precursor forms, is an important consideration when timing sleep-related endpoints in studies.
How is DSIP administered in research?
In research protocols DSIP is typically given by subcutaneous injection, and some human sleep studies used intravenous dosing scaled to body weight. It is supplied as a lyophilized peptide requiring reconstitution before use.
