| 9 | The calculation is a [[Project:No original research|routine unit conversion]]: concentration is mass divided by volume, dose volume is dose divided by concentration, and a syringe unit is one hundredth of a millilitre on the U-100 scale. The tool below performs those operations and shows each intermediate result, because the intermediate is where a mistake becomes visible. | 9 | The calculation is a [[Project:No original research|routine unit conversion]]: concentration is mass divided by volume, dose volume is dose divided by concentration, and a syringe unit is one hundredth of a millilitre on the U-100 scale.

| 12 | Enter the label mass of the vial, the volume of diluent, and the intended dose. The tool reports the resulting concentration, the volume that dose occupies, the reading on the selected syringe scale, and how many doses the vial contains. | 14 | Enter the label mass of the vial, the volume of diluent, and the intended dose.
