Why convert from centigram per liter to nanogram per liter?

Converting to nanogram per liter enables detection and reporting of ultra-trace concentrations that cannot be resolved properly at the centigram per liter scale.

What is the conversion factor between cg/L and ng/L?

One centigram per liter equals 10,000,000 nanogram per liter.

In which fields is this conversion commonly used?

This conversion is widely used in environmental water monitoring, clinical assays, toxicology, food safety, and laboratory research requiring high sensitivity.

Examples

0.5 cg/L converts to 5,000,000 ng/L by multiplying 0.5 with 10,000,000
2 cg/L converts to 20,000,000 ng/L by multiplying 2 with 10,000,000

Common Use Cases

Environmental water quality monitoring for trace contaminants
Clinical biochemical tests that require detection of very low biomarker concentrations
Laboratory analysis for ultra-trace mass concentrations in toxicology and food safety

Tips & Best Practices

Handle the large numerical conversion factor carefully to avoid calculation errors
Ensure measurement instruments have appropriate sensitivity for nanogram-level detection
Confirm laboratory capability before interpreting results at ultra-trace concentration scales

Limitations

Conversion involves a large factor which can lead to mistakes if not managed properly
Not all labs have equipment to measure or analyze values at the nanogram per liter scale
Instrument precision must match the detailed sensitivity implied by ng/L reporting
