Heparin Units To Milliliters Calculator

This calculator converts heparin units to milliliters based on concentration and dose requirements.

Input Parameters

Calculation Results

Calculation Formula

Volume (mL) = Heparin Units / Concentration (Units/mL)

Where:
Volume (mL) - The volume of heparin solution in milliliters
Heparin Units - The required dose in units
Concentration (Units/mL) - The concentration of the heparin solution

Heparin Units To Milliliters Calculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Heparin Units To Milliliters Calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the required dose of heparin in units (e.g., 5000 IU)
  2. Enter the concentration of your heparin solution (e.g., 50 IU/mL)
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to determine the volume in milliliters
  4. The result will show how many milliliters of solution contain the specified dose

Working Principle

The calculator uses the formula:

Volume (mL) = Heparin Units / Concentration (Units/mL)

This calculation is essential for accurately preparing heparin solutions for infusion or injection, ensuring patients receive the correct therapeutic dose.

Example

If you need to administer 5000 IU of heparin and your solution has a concentration of 40 IU/mL:

  • Units = 5000 IU
  • Concentration = 40 IU/mL
  • Volume = 5000 IU / 40 IU/mL = 125 mL

In this case, you would need to draw 125 mL of the heparin solution to deliver 5000 IU.
