Reverse BAC Water Planner
Choose the draw you want to see on the syringe first, then work backward to the diluent volume that gets you there.
Why this tool exists
Useful when someone thinks in 10-unit or 20-unit draws instead of concentration equations.

| Preferred draw | Suggested diluent | Why use it |
|---|---|---|
| 5 units | 2 mL | Compact draw, easy to fit in most workflows |
| 8 units | 3.2 mL | Compact draw, easy to fit in most workflows |
| 10 units | 4 mL | Current selection |
| 12 units | 4.8 mL | Larger line on the syringe, often easier to read |
| 15 units | 6 mL | Larger line on the syringe, often easier to read |
| 20 units | 8 mL | Larger line on the syringe, often easier to read |
| 25 units | 10 mL | Larger line on the syringe, often easier to read |
| 30 units | 12 mL | Larger line on the syringe, often easier to read |
Quick mental check
Best used for
- Picking an easier-to-read draw size before mixing
- Comparing alternate reconstitution volumes side by side
- Reducing awkward fractional-unit measurements
Outputs
- Recommended diluent volume
- Dose-per-unit summary
- Alternate draw options for the same vial

Reconstitution
Translate vial strength, diluent volume, and target dose into mL and syringe units with a visual draw guide.
Units converter
Quickly convert between concentration, syringe units, and IU workflows without hiding the underlying math.
Vial duration
Estimate how long a vial lasts, when it runs out, and whether a conservative discard window creates wasted doses.
