Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does nanogram per liter measure?
-
Nanogram per liter represents an ultra-trace mass concentration, expressing one billionth of a gram of substance in one liter of fluid.
-
Why convert nanogram/liter to milligram/cubic millimeter?
-
This conversion helps translate very low concentration values into densities relevant for microscale volumes in fields like microfabrication and biomedical analysis.
-
Is 1 mg/mm³ equivalent to any common density units?
-
Yes, 1 mg/mm³ is numerically equal to 1 gram per cubic centimeter (g/cm³), corresponding to 1000 kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).
Key Terminology
-
Nanogram per liter (ng/L)
-
A mass-concentration unit expressing one billionth of a gram of substance per liter of fluid, used for ultra-trace measurements.
-
Milligram per cubic millimeter (mg/mm³)
