What is the exact relationship between ounce and picogram?

One ounce is equal to 28,349,523,125,000 picograms according to the standard conversion rate.

Can this converter differentiate between avoirdupois and troy ounces?

Yes, the converter acknowledges the two variants, as they differ in gram equivalence and use cases.

Why are picograms used instead of grams in some cases?

Picograms are used to describe extremely small masses such as large biomolecules and nanoparticles where gram units are too large to provide meaningful precision.
