2 mg vial + 1.5 mL bacteriostatic water
A 2 mg vial reconstituted with 1.5 mL comes to 1.333 mg/mL. Every unit on a U-100 insulin syringe then carries 13.33 mcg, so 100 mcg is 7.5 units (0.075 mL) and the vial holds 20 draws of that size.

2 mg + 1.5 mL questions
What concentration is 2 mg in 1.5 mL?
2 mg divided by 1.5 mL is 1.333 mg/mL, which is 1,333 mcg/mL. On a U-100 syringe each unit holds 0.01 mL, so one unit carries 13.33 mcg.
How many units is 100 mcg from a 2 mg vial with 1.5 mL?
100 mcg divided by 1,333 mcg/mL is 0.075 mL, which is 7.5 units on a U-100 syringe and 3 units on a U-40 syringe. The vial holds 20 draws of that size.
What if I add 2 mL instead of 1.5 mL to the 2 mg vial?
The mass stays 2 mg. With 2 mL the concentration is 1 mg/mL instead of 1.333 mg/mL, so the same amount per draw needs more units: 100 mcg becomes 10 units instead of 7.5.
Does a 2 mg vial hold 1.5 mL?
Usually. Most lyophilized peptide vials are 2 mL or 3 mL glass, and 1.5 mL fits with room to swirl. Check the vial if it is an unusually small format.
