Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a nanogram used to measure?
-
Nanograms quantify very small masses such as trace analyte concentrations, tiny biological samples, and low-dose drugs or hormones.
-
Why convert nanograms to femtograms?
-
Converting to femtograms helps express extremely small masses with higher resolution and sensitivity, important in fields like nanotechnology and materials science.
-
What does 1 nanogram equal in femtograms?
-
1 nanogram is equal to 1,000,000 femtograms.
Key Terminology
-
Nanogram [ng]
-
A mass unit equal to one billionth of a gram, used to measure very small weights in scientific analyses.
-
Femtogram [fg]
-
A mass unit equal to 10^-15 grams, used to express extremely tiny masses at micro- and nano-scales.
-
Microbalance
