Follistatin 344 Reconstitution Calculator
A 344-amino-acid isoform of follistatin referenced in myostatin-pathway and muscle-research literature. This page works out concentration, volume per measured amount, syringe units and preparations per vial for a reconstituted Follistatin 344 preparation, plus the mass-to-molar conversions for its stated molecular weight. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is transmitted or stored.

The pre-filled example, step by step
The inputs above are the neutral reference preparation this site uses everywhere the calculator appears: a 5 mg vial, 2 mL of bacteriostatic water, and a 250 mcg target amount. They are not a property of Follistatin 344 and not an amount anyone should draw — they exist so the arithmetic is visible before you change anything.
- Concentration. 5 mg ÷ 2 mL = 2.5 mg/mL (2,500 mcg/mL), which for Follistatin 344 is approximately 0.06614 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 Follistatin 344
Derived from the molecular weight recorded on the Follistatin 344 entry: ~37,800 Da (mature glycoprotein isoform) — the entry states this as an approximate figure, so the equivalents below are approximate too. Concentration in molar units is what an in-vitro protocol is usually specified in.
| Quantity | Molar equivalent |
|---|---|
| 1 mg of Follistatin 344 | 26.46 nmol (0.02646 µmol) |
| 1 mcg of Follistatin 344 | 0.02646 nmol |
| A 1 mg/mL solution | 0.02646 mM (26.46 µM) |
Molar amount = mass ÷ molecular weight. Figures are shown to four significant digits and are a unit conversion, not a measurement.
Reconstitution recorded for Follistatin 344
Supplied lyophilized; reconstituted in sterile water or buffer and kept cold as a protein.

Handling questions for Follistatin 344
How is follistatin-344 supplied and stored?
It is typically supplied as a lyophilized glycoprotein that is reconstituted before research use. As a protein it requires cold storage - frozen when lyophilized, refrigerated once reconstituted - and protection from repeated freeze-thaw. A COA with purity and identity data is standard to expect.
