What does 1 femtogram represent?

One femtogram is a mass equal to 10^-15 grams or 10^-18 kilograms, used to measure extremely small masses.

What is a dalton used for?

The dalton is a mass unit for atomic and molecular scales, defined as 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom.

Why convert femtograms to daltons?

Conversion helps interpret microscopic mass data like mass spectrometry results and molecular characterizations.
