About Picomoles per litre
The picomole per litre (pmol/L, pM) equals 10⁻⁹ mol/m³, the standard unit for most endocrine hormone measurements in clinical chemistry worldwide. Serum free T4: 12-22 pmol/L; oestradiol: 37-530 pmol/L; insulin (fasting): 20-100 pmol/L. Numerically identical to nmol/m³. 1 pmol/L = 10⁻³ nmol/L.
About Moles per cubic decimetre
The mole per cubic decimetre (mol/dm³) equals 1 000 mol/m³, numerically identical to mol/L. It is the preferred notation in UK A-level and university chemistry curricula and in IUPAC recommendations, where dm³ emphasises the SI volume unit. 1 mol/dm³ = 1 mol/L = 1 M = kmol/m³.
