Use calculator:

  • Enter the number of picograms into the calculator.
  • Select the unit into which the picograms are to be converted.
  • Click on "generate" to get the result.

Due to its extremely small size, the picogram is mainly used in the natural sciences, especially in biology and physics.

Picogram to gram

  • 1 picogram (pg) corresponds to 10^-12 grams (g).

Conversion: gram = picogram × 10^-12

Picogram to milligram

One milligram (mg) is one thousandth of a gram.

  • 1 picogram (pg) corresponds to 10^-9 milligrams (mg).

Conversion: Milligram = picogram × 10^-9

Picogram to microgram

A microgram (µg) is one millionth of a gram.

  • 1 picogram (pg) corresponds to 10^-6 micrograms (µg).

Conversion: Microgram = picogram × 10^-6

Picogram to nanogram

A nanogram (ng) is one billionth of a gram.

  • 1 picogram (pg) corresponds to 0.001 nanogram (ng) or 10^-3 nanograms (ng).

Conversion: Nanogram = picogram × 10^-3

Further conversions

When converting to larger units such as kilograms, tons, etc., it is most practical to first convert to grams and then to the desired unit.

  • 1 kilogram (kg) corresponds to 10^15 picograms (pg)
  • 1 ton corresponds to 10^18 picograms (pg)

Conclusion

The picogram is an extremely small unit of mass that is frequently used in scientific applications. It can be converted to larger units using multipliers. Understanding the relationships between these units is crucial to performing accurate scientific measurements and calculations.
