What is a femtogram used to measure?

A femtogram measures extremely small masses such as viruses, large biomolecules, nanoparticles, and ultrafine aerosol particles in scientific research.

How do I convert femtograms to picograms?

Multiply the femtogram value by 0.001 to get the equivalent picogram measurement.

Why convert from femtograms to picograms?

Converting to picograms helps scale very small mass values into a unit that is easier to report and compare at the molecular and nanoparticle level.
