Melanotan-2 (MT-2) Reconstitution Calculator
Also listed as MT2 · melanotan 2 · melanotan II · MT-II
Melanotan-2 (MT-2) ships lyophilized in 10mg vials. Enter the vial size, the bacteriostatic water you add, and a target analyte mass to get the solution concentration, the aliquot volume in mL and µL, and the marks it reaches on a U-100 graduated syringe. Laboratory reconstitution math only.
U-100 scale — 100 graduation marks per mL.

Melanotan-2 (MT-2) reconstitution chart
Example: a 10mg Melanotan-2 (MT-2) vial reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water is 5 mg/mL (5,000 mcg/mL), and each mark on a U-100 graduated syringe holds 50 mcg. Every vial size and diluent volume:
| Vial | Bac water | mg/mL | mcg/mL | mcg per U-100 mark |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10mg | 1 mL | 10 | 10,000 | 100 |
| 10mg | 2 mL | 5 | 5,000 | 50 |
| 10mg | 3 mL | 3.33 | 3,333 | 33.33 |

Melanotan-2 (MT-2) calculator — frequently asked questions
There is no single required volume — the diluent sets the concentration, not the amount of Melanotan-2 (MT-2) in the vial. A 10mg vial (10 mg) gives 10 mg/mL with 1 mL of bacteriostatic water, 5 mg/mL with 2 mL, and 3.33 mg/mL with 3 mL. More diluent makes each aliquot a larger, more precisely measurable volume.
Concentration is the lyophilized mass divided by the diluent volume. A 10mg Melanotan-2 (MT-2) vial reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water is 5 mg/mL (5,000 mcg/mL). Melanotan-2 (MT-2) is supplied in 10mg vials; the chart on this page lists each size at 1, 2 and 3 mL.
A U-100 graduated syringe has 100 marks per milliliter, so each mark is 0.01 mL. At 5 mg/mL (a 10mg vial with 2 mL) each mark holds 50 mcg; multiply the mcg-per-mark figure by the number of marks to find the mass in a measured volume. These are volume-measurement figures, not dosing or administration instructions.
Lyophilized Melanotan-2 (MT-2) is stored at −20°C long-term (2–8°C short-term), protected from light. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, the solution is typically held at 2–8°C and used within the window appropriate to the study. Swirl gently to dissolve — never shake — and minimize freeze–thaw cycles.
No. It performs in-vitro laboratory reconstitution math for a research-use-only reference standard. It is not medical, dosing, or clinical guidance and is not instructions for administration.
