What is the conversion rate from mg/L to µg/L?

1 milligram per liter (mg/L) equals 1000 micrograms per liter (µg/L).

Why convert mg/L to µg/L?

Converting to micrograms per liter helps report very low concentrations of substances with enhanced precision.

Is this unit conversion used in clinical studies?

Yes, it is used for reporting low-level biomarker or drug concentrations in biological fluids during clinical toxicology or pharmacology.
