About Nanograms
A nanogram (ng) is one billionth of a gram (10⁻⁹ g). This is the standard mass unit in analytical chemistry, pharmacology, and toxicology for detecting trace substances. Blood plasma concentrations of hormones, drugs, and environmental contaminants are routinely reported in nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). A typical therapeutic blood level for many medications is in the range of 10-500 ng/mL. In forensic science, nanogram-level DNA quantities can be amplified by PCR to yield a full genetic profile.
About Ounces
The avoirdupois ounce (oz) is 1/16 of a pound, equal to approximately 28.35 grams. It is the everyday ounce used in the United States and United Kingdom for food portions, household quantities, and general trade. US food packages, recipe measurements, and nutrition labels reference ounces; a standard stick of butter is 4 oz, a can of soup typically 10.75 oz, and a baseball weighs 5-5.25 oz. Unlike the troy ounce (31.10 g) used for precious metals, the avoirdupois ounce (28.35 g) is lighter.
