Add a calculation to a message
Updated Oct 16, 2026 · Applies to Web, iPhone, and Android · All plans
You can attach a calculation to a message so ChatPEP sees the exact numbers you worked out. It travels with the message as a small chip, and you can ask a question about it or send it on its own.
Add a calculation
On the web
- In the message box, select Dose calculator. You can also select +, then Dose calculator.
- Enter the Vial, BAC water, and Dose numbers.
- Select Add to message. The calculator button becomes a chip that shows the amount and the units it works out to.
- Type your question, or send the calculation on its own.
On iPhone and on Android
- In the message box, tap Dose calculator.
- Choose mcg, mg, or IU, then fill in the three numbers.
- Tap Add to message. A chip with the result appears above your text.
- Send the message.
Ask a suggested question (web)
Under the result, the calculator offers questions people often ask next:
- How long will this vial last?
- Does that look right? This appears only when the chat is about a specific compound.
- Storage after mixing
Selecting one attaches the calculation and fills the message box with the question. Nothing is sent until you send it, so you can edit the question first. On the Calculator page in the sidebar, the same questions open a new chat with the calculation attached and the question filled in.
Change or remove it before sending
On the web
- Select the chip to reopen the calculator with its numbers. Change them and select Save.
- Select the X on the chip to remove the calculation.
On iPhone and on Android
Tap the chip to remove it. To change the numbers, add the calculation again.
After you send it
- The calculation stays with your message in the chat. On the web, selecting it reopens the calculator with those numbers, so you can adjust them and add the new result to your next message.
- ChatPEP reads the vial amount, the water, the concentration, and the units exactly as the calculator worked them out.
- The calculation carries only numbers, not a compound name. If the compound matters to your question, name it.
- A message holds one calculation. Adding another replaces the first.
- If you share the chat, the calculation appears in the shared copy as a line of text.
