Nanomole per liter quick reference
| Nanomole per liter | Mole per liter (molar) | Millimole per liter | Mole per cubic meter |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 nmol/L | = 1e-9 mol/L | = 0.000001 mmol/L | = 0.000001 mol/m³ |
| 10 nmol/L | = 1e-8 mol/L | = 0.00001 mmol/L | = 0.00001 mol/m³ |
| 100 nmol/L | = 1e-7 mol/L | = 0.0001 mmol/L | = 0.0001 mol/m³ |
| 1000 nmol/L | = 0.000001 mol/L | = 0.001 mmol/L | = 0.001 mol/m³ |
Where the nanomole per liter fits
The next smaller molar concentration unit is the picomole per liter (pmol/L). 1 nmol/L = 1000 pmol/L, and 1 pmol/L = 0.001 nmol/L.
The next larger molar concentration unit is the micromole per liter (µmol/L). 1 nmol/L = 0.001 µmol/L, and 1 µmol/L = 1000 nmol/L.
