No. 1 ppb = 1 ug/L or 1 microgram per liter. You can find conversion charts on the web (http://waterontheweb.org/resources/conversiontables.html) Yes, ng/mL is equivalent to parts per billion. While it is true that 1 ppb = 1 ug/L, it is equally true that 1 ng/mL = 1 ppb. They are the same sice 1 ng is 1/1000 of a ug and 1 mL is 1/1000 of a L. All that has changed is the units, but they remain equivalent.

No. Micrograms per ml is the same as milligrams per litre, which means parts per million (ppm). Regarding ppm, a gram and a ml are seen as equivalent, so there are a million micrograms in a gram (which is a millilitre). Now on the other hand, micrograms per litre is ppb.

Yes it is. Ppm means parts per million, and this assumes that a gram and a ml are equivalent. So parts per thousand would be microgram per microlitre. Then a million is microgram per millilitre.

What is the abbreviation for micro units per mL?

1 ml of water weighs 1 gram, so if you are meaning microgram quantities, you would have parts per million. For example if you had 100 micrograms per ml, this would be the same as saying 100 grams per 1000 liters, which is the same ratio as 100 grams per million grams. Parts per million is expressed as ppm.


What is the correct abbreviation for one gram?

So when you talk about thousands of micrograms, you are talking about milligrams because you have 1000 micrograms in a milligram). Milligrams per litre is called parts per million also. This is ppm in short.


1000 ppm equals to how many milligram per mililitre?

if it is water 1000 ppm = 1 mg/ml


5000 ppm is equall to how many ml?

The two terms ppm and ml are not similar measures. PPM (parts per million) is a ratio and can apply to mass, volume, etc., while ml (milliliter) is a unit of volume - 1/1000 of a liter.

How do I convert the following I have 100 micrograms per microliter of a substance and I want 100 micrograms per mililiter of that same substance in 250 microlitres total volume?

First, 100ug per ul is 100,000ug per ml. You want 100 micrograms per ml. Therefore you need to dilute 1 in 1000. If 250ul is your total volume, you need to take 0.25 microlitres of the stock.

Hom much of 50mg per ml solution should be added to a 500ml solution to get 50 micrograms per milliliter?

50 micrograms per millilitre is the same as 50*500 i.e. 25,000ug per 500ml. 25000ug is 25mg. In every ml, there are 50mg, so you only need half of a millilitre.


How do you dilute a 50 micrograms per milliliter sample to a 13 micrograms per milliliter sample?

Take 13.0 mL of the first solution ( 50 ug/mL) and dilute it up to 50.0 mL, you'll get the second solutionconcentration ( 13 ug/mL). Proof: 13.0 mL x 50 ug/mL of 1st = 50.0 mL x 13 ug/mL of in 2nd [Control: by units] 650 ug in 1st = 650 ug in 2nd


How do you convert 300 micrograms per centimeter cube to micrograms?

You cannot. Micrograms per centimetre cubed is a measure of density, with dimensions [ML-3] whereas micrograms is a measure of mass with dimensions [M]. They measure different things and elementary dimensional analyses teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions.
