Penmix 30 is Novo Nordisk's r-DNA/GE/GM human insulin mix[3][4] consisting of 30% R/neutral insulin and 70% NPH/isophane insulin crystals[5].

It is the same as Humulin 70/30[6].

Novo calls the same mix Novolin 70/30 or ReliOn/Novolin 70/30 in North America, and Mixtard 30 or Actraphane 30/70 in the UK and EU.

A comparable insulin made by Eli Lilly is Humulin M3[7][8][9]; another by Novo is Actraphane 30/70[10] .
