The Atomic Mass unit (amu) is defined to be exactly 1/12 of the mass of a C-12 atom (Not a mole of carbon atoms...) Therefore 1 C-12 atom has a mass of exactly 12.00000000 amu. Also, therefore, 1 amu is a very small unit of mass - specifically 1amu = 1.66053X10^-24 grams. 1.00 mole of C-12 atoms has a mass of 12.0000000 grams!

A mu (µ) or micro is 0.000001 or one millionth, tehrefore 1µg is one millionth of a gram. So, you multiply by one million. (short note: mu itself is not a valid unit.)
