5-Amino-1MQ dosage calculator
5-Amino-1MQ vials are commonly labelled 5 mg, 10 mg. This calculator divides the vial mass by the diluent volume you enter to show concentration, then converts your own target amount into millilitres and syringe units. It states no dose, chooses no amount and stores nothing.
This page is a calculation tool. The amounts you enter are values you decided; this page states no dose and gives no medical advice.
5-Amino-1MQ vial concentration grid
This table answers one arithmetic question: what concentration results when a labelled vial mass is divided by a measured diluent volume? It does not select either value.
| Vial mass | Diluent | Concentration | Same concentration |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 mg | 0.5 mL | 10,000 mcg/mL | 10 mg/mL |
| 5 mg | 1 mL | 5,000 mcg/mL | 5 mg/mL |
| 5 mg | 1.5 mL | 3,333.33 mcg/mL | 3.333 mg/mL |
| 5 mg | 2 mL | 2,500 mcg/mL | 2.5 mg/mL |
| 5 mg | 2.5 mL | 2,000 mcg/mL | 2 mg/mL |
| 5 mg | 3 mL | 1,666.67 mcg/mL | 1.667 mg/mL |
| 5 mg | 5 mL | 1,000 mcg/mL | 1 mg/mL |
| 10 mg | 0.5 mL | 20,000 mcg/mL | 20 mg/mL |
| 10 mg | 1 mL | 10,000 mcg/mL | 10 mg/mL |
| 10 mg | 1.5 mL | 6,666.67 mcg/mL | 6.667 mg/mL |
| 10 mg | 2 mL | 5,000 mcg/mL | 5 mg/mL |
| 10 mg | 2.5 mL | 4,000 mcg/mL | 4 mg/mL |
| 10 mg | 3 mL | 3,333.33 mcg/mL | 3.333 mg/mL |
| 10 mg | 5 mL | 2,000 mcg/mL | 2 mg/mL |
5-Amino-1MQ physical-property record
The iodide salt is not the bare cation
PubChem identifies the CAS-linked 5-Amino-1MQ iodide material with formula C10H11IN2 and molecular weight 286.11 g/mol. The corresponding quinolinium cation without iodide has a lower formula mass. A product record should therefore say whether the labelled material is the iodide salt rather than shortening the identity to 5-Amino-1MQ. The calculator page also notes that this entry is a small molecule, not a peptide. Sources: PubChem: 5-Amino-1MQ iodide compound record · Bio-Techne: 5-Amino-1MQ iodide technical data.
Technical solubility for the iodide product
Bio-Techne reports water solubility at 15.9 mg/mL for its 5-Amino-1MQ iodide technical product and lists room-temperature storage for the solid. Those conditions belong to that catalog item. They are not a universal concentration or a reason to assume that another formulation uses the same counterion. The calculator leaves volume editable and treats the figure only as a cited physical property. Sources: Bio-Techne: 5-Amino-1MQ iodide technical data.
Why compound class matters
Most pages in this calculator family describe peptides, but 5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecular salt. Peptide-specific assumptions about sequence, salt notation or lyophilised appearance should not be copied onto it. A reliable record keeps the iodide wording, formula, catalog, lot, labelled mass and physical form. That distinction is unique to this page and prevents the surrounding peptide template from obscuring the material's actual chemistry.

Arithmetic without identity substitution
Mass divided by volume remains deterministic for a labelled solution or vial, but the calculation cannot prove that the solid is the iodide salt or that its stated purity is correct. PubChem and Bio-Techne provide identity and technical references for comparison. The page does not select a target amount, propose a preparation method or imply that the listed solubility is a dose or protocol.

How to use the calculator
- Read the total mass from your own vial label and enter it in milligrams.
- Enter the diluent volume you actually measured, not an intended or remembered value.
- Enter your own target amount and select the calibration printed on your syringe barrel.
- Record the concentration with the result so the syringe-unit figure remains interpretable later.
Source and identity record
Use the compound reference page and these external database searches when checking identity: PubMed literature search for 5-Amino-1MQ · PubChem compound database · PubChem: 5-Amino-1MQ iodide compound record · Bio-Techne: 5-Amino-1MQ iodide technical data. A database record does not authenticate a vial.
Frequently asked questions
How much bacteriostatic water for a 5 mg 5-Amino-1MQ vial?
This calculator does not choose a diluent volume. Enter the volume you decided to add to the 5 mg vial and it will show the resulting concentration. The page supplies arithmetic, not an instruction.
How much bacteriostatic water for a 10 mg 5-Amino-1MQ vial?
There is no universal volume selected by this page. Use the value you measured or were instructed to use; the calculator then divides the 10 mg label mass by that volume.
Does the 5-Amino-1MQ calculator recommend a dose?
No. The target amount is always entered by the user. The tool provides no starting amount, maximum amount, progression, frequency or schedule.
Why does the syringe calibration matter?
A syringe unit is a volume marking. U-100, U-50 and U-40 barrels use different numbers of units per millilitre, so the same solution volume produces different markings.
