About Grams per litre
The gram per litre (g/L) equals 1 kg/m³, numerically identical to kg/m³ but preferred in life sciences and food technology. Blood glucose is reported in g/L in European clinical practice (normal fasting: 0.7-1.0 g/L); intravenous glucose solutions are 50 g/L (5%) or 100 g/L (10%). Fermentation engineers track biomass and substrate concentration in g/L. 1 g/L = 1 kg/m³ ≈8.345 × 10⁻³ lb/gal (US).
