What does gram per cubic millimeter measure?

Gram per cubic millimeter measures mass density as the amount of grams in one cubic millimeter, often used for micro-scale materials.

When should I use femtogram per liter units?

Femtogram per liter is used for extremely small mass concentrations in liquids, such as ultratrace contaminants or nanoparticle suspensions.

Why is the conversion factor so large?

The large factor arises from the huge difference in volume units, converting micro-scale solid densities to ultratrace liquid mass concentrations.
