The formula to convert nmol/L to ng/dL is:
\[ C(\text{ng/dL}) = \frac{C(\text{nmol/L}) \times MW(\text{g/mol})}{10} \]
Where:
Let's say the concentration (\( C(\text{nmol/L}) \)) is 50 nmol/L and the molecular weight (\( MW(\text{g/mol}) \)) is 180 g/mol. Using the formula:
\[ C(\text{ng/dL}) = \frac{50 \times 180}{10} \]
We get:
\[ C(\text{ng/dL}) = \frac{9000}{10} = 900 \]
So, the concentration (\( C(\text{ng/dL}) \)) is 900 ng/dL.
Concentration conversion is the process of converting the concentration of a substance from one unit of measurement to another. This is often necessary when comparing results from different tests or when following specific guidelines that require a certain unit of measurement. The conversion takes into account the molecular weight of the substance, which is a constant that relates the mass of one mole of the substance to its amount in number of molecules.
