The table at right is based on the kilogram (kg), the base unit of mass in the International System of Units . The kilogram is the only standard unit to include an SI prefix (kilo-) as part of its name. The gram (10 −3 kg) is an SI derived unit of mass.
At a wavelength of 260 nm, the average extinction coefficient for double-stranded DNA is 0.020 (μg/mL) −1 cm −1, for single-stranded DNA it is 0.027 (μg/mL) −1 cm −1, for single-stranded RNA it is 0.025 (μg/mL) −1 cm −1 and for short single-stranded oligonucleotides it is dependent on the length and base composition.
The MIC is often expressed in micrograms per milliliter (μg/mL) or milligrams per liter (mg/L). In diagnostic labs, MIC test results are used to grade the susceptibility of microbes. These grades are assigned based on agreed upon values called breakpoints.
In the metric system, a microgram or microgramme is a unit of mass equal to one millionth (1 × 10 −6) of a gram. The unit symbol is μg according to the International System of Units (SI); the recommended symbol in the United States and United Kingdom when communicating medical information is mcg .
One part per hundred is generally represented by the percent sign (%) and denotes one part per 100 (10 2) parts, and a value of 10 −2. This is equivalent to about fourteen minutes out of one day. One part per thousand should generally be spelled out in full and not as "ppt" (which is usually understood to represent "parts per trillion").
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force released a draft recommendation advising against using vitamin D to prevent falls and fractures in people over 60. Pharmacist Katy Dubinsky weighs in.
They are measured in nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) or micrograms per liter (μg/L); the two units are equivalent. The ferritin levels measured usually have a direct correlation with the total amount of iron stored in the body.
