Liraglutide Reconstitution Calculator
An earlier-generation GLP-1 receptor agonist widely referenced in comparative research. This page works out concentration, volume per measured amount, syringe units and preparations per vial for a reconstituted Liraglutide 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 Liraglutide 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 Liraglutide is approximately 0.6665 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 Liraglutide
Derived from the molecular weight recorded on the Liraglutide entry: 3751.2 g/mol. Concentration in molar units is what an in-vitro protocol is usually specified in.
| Quantity | Molar equivalent |
|---|---|
| 1 mg of Liraglutide | 266.6 nmol (0.2666 µmol) |
| 1 mcg of Liraglutide | 0.2666 nmol |
| A 1 mg/mL solution | 0.2666 mM (266.6 µM) |
Molar amount = mass ÷ molecular weight. Figures are shown to four significant digits and are a unit conversion, not a measurement.
Reconstitution recorded for Liraglutide
Lyophilized powder typically reconstituted with bacteriostatic water; refrigerate and protect from light after reconstitution.

Handling questions for Liraglutide
How is research-grade liraglutide stored and reconstituted?
Lyophilized liraglutide is reconstituted with bacteriostatic water and kept refrigerated, protected from light and freeze-thaw. Expect a COA with HPLC purity (commonly greater than or equal to 98%) and mass-spec identity as the standard quality reference.
