Nanogram

What is a nanogram?

A nanogram (ng) equals 10^-12 kilogram.

Origin of the nanogram

From the SI prefix 'nano-' (from Greek 'nanos', dwarf).

Where it is used

Molecular biology, forensics, and toxicology.

When and where it was developed

The nano- prefix entered the SI in 1960.

Tola to Nanogram conversion formula

Note: this conversion uses a generally accepted modern value. Historical and regional definitions of this unit varied across times and places.

The relationship between tolas and nanograms:

1 tola = 1.16638e+10 ng
1 ng = 8.573532e-11 tola

To convert tolas to nanograms, multiply the value in tolas by 1.16638e+10. To reverse, multiply nanograms by 8.573532e-11.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 tola to ng:
1 × 1.16638e+10 = 1.16638e+10 ng

Example 2 — Convert 100 tola to ng:
100 × 1.16638e+10 = 1.16638e+12 ng

Real-world example — Small-scale to atomic-scale

One tola equals 10 million nanograms — useful for physics curricula that relate everyday measurements to atomic and optical scales.

1 tola × 1.16638e+10 = 1.16638e+10 ng

Real-world example — Centimeter to wavelength scale

One tola equals 10 million nanograms. Physics curricula use this kind of conversion to relate everyday measurements to atomic and optical scales.

1 tola × 1.16638e+10 = 1.16638e+10 ng
