From: | To: |
The micromolar to mg/mL conversion calculates the mass concentration of a substance from its molar concentration. This conversion is essential in biochemistry, pharmacology, and molecular biology for preparing solutions with precise concentrations.
The calculator uses the conversion formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula converts molar concentration to mass concentration by accounting for the molecular weight and volume of the solution.
Details: Accurate concentration conversion is crucial for preparing laboratory reagents, drug formulations, and biological assays. It ensures precise dosing and reproducible experimental results.
Tips: Enter micromolar concentration, molecular weight in g/mol, and volume in liters. All values must be positive numbers. The result will be displayed in mg/mL.
Q1: Why convert from micromolar to mg/mL?
A: Micromolar indicates the number of molecules, while mg/mL indicates mass concentration. Conversion is needed for practical laboratory preparations and dosing.
Q2: What is the difference between molar and mass concentration?
A: Molar concentration (µM) measures the number of moles per liter, while mass concentration (mg/mL) measures the mass of solute per volume of solution.
Q3: Can I use this for any chemical compound?
A: Yes, as long as you know the correct molecular weight of the compound. The formula works for any substance with a defined molecular weight.
Q4: Why is volume included in the calculation?
A: Volume is necessary to calculate the total mass of solute in the solution. Without volume, you can only calculate concentration per liter.
Q5: What if my volume is in milliliters instead of liters?
A: Convert milliliters to liters by dividing by 1000 before entering the value. For example, 50 mL = 0.05 L.
