Why unit conversion matters

Research calculations often combine values recorded in different units. Clear conversion notes make the final record easier to review.

Common groups

Mass conversions include mg, µg, ng, and g. Volume conversions include L, mL, and µL. Amount conversions include mol, mmol, µmol, and nmol.

Common documentation mistakes

  • Converting a number but not the unit label.
  • Mixing mass and amount units without molecular weight.
  • Using a concentration conversion as if it were a mass conversion.
