Lab Unit Converter

Convert common wet-lab units and analyte-specific clinical SI units with the conversion factor shown beside the answer.

150 mg/L
150 ng/µL × 0.001 / 0.001 = 150 mg/L
Base value: 0.15 g/L
Why this converter separates generic and analyte-specific math

Volume, mass, and molarity are dimensional conversions. Clinical laboratory SI conversions can be analyte-specific because the molecular weight changes the factor.

Unit normalization examples

Before batch conversion, normalize synonyms such as µg/mL, ug/mL, and mcg/mL to one canonical spelling, then apply the factor.

Common clinical factors

Albuming/dL × 10 = g/L
Glucosemg/dL × 0.0555 = mmol/L
Cholesterolmg/dL × 0.02586 = mmol/L
Triglyceridesmg/dL × 0.01129 = mmol/L
Creatininemg/dL × 88.4 = µmol/L
Bilirubinmg/dL × 17.1 = µmol/L

Examples

150 ng/µL = 150 mg/L because both are mass concentration units.
Glucose: 100 mg/dL × 0.0555 = 5.55 mmol/L.

Why this page is not just a long table

Labcorp-style SI tables are useful, but users still need to apply the factor correctly.

PharmaSUG-style workflows normalize names and units before multiplying by a factor.

This calculator exposes both steps: canonical unit labels first, conversion factor second.

Source-informed design note

The page follows the SI table idea from Labcorp and the dictionary plus conversion-factor workflow described in the PharmaSUG paper, but turns them into an interactive calculator for common lab tasks.
