1. What is the nM to ng/mL Conversion?

The nM to ng/mL conversion is used to convert concentration measurements between molarity (nM, nanomolar) and mass concentration (ng/mL, nanograms per milliliter). This is essential in biochemistry and pharmacology when comparing measurements made with different techniques.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the conversion equation:

\[ \text{ng/mL} = \frac{(\text{nM} \times \text{MW})}{1000} \]

Where:

\( nM \) — Concentration in nanomolar (10⁻⁹ moles per liter)
\( MW \) — Molecular weight in grams per mole (g/mol)
\( 1000 \) — Conversion factor (1000 ng = 1 μg, and 1000 mL = 1 L)

Explanation: The equation converts the molar concentration to mass concentration by accounting for the molecular weight of the substance and appropriate unit conversions.

3. Importance of Unit Conversion

Details: Accurate unit conversion is crucial for comparing experimental results, preparing solutions with precise concentrations, and interpreting biochemical data across different measurement techniques.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the concentration in nM and the molecular weight in g/mol. Both values must be positive numbers. The result will be displayed in ng/mL.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why is molecular weight needed for this conversion?
A: Molecular weight connects the molar quantity (nM) to mass (ng), as different molecules have different masses even at the same molar concentration.

Q2: How precise should the molecular weight be?
A: Use the exact molecular weight for maximum accuracy, especially for small molecules. For proteins, use the average molecular weight based on amino acid sequence.

Q3: Can this be used for any substance?
A: Yes, as long as you know the molecular weight. Works for small molecules, proteins, nucleic acids, etc.

Q4: What's the difference between nM and ng/mL?
A: nM measures the number of molecules per volume, while ng/mL measures the mass of molecules per volume. The conversion depends on the molecule's size.

Q5: How do I convert back from ng/mL to nM?
A: Use the inverse equation: nM = (ng/mL × 1000) / MW
