* This could mean hundreds of things. * NG could mean Nasogastric * ML probably means milliliters * In a hospital setting, NG mL would mean 'amount of Nasogastric fluid in milliliters' It actually means nanograms per milliliter.
Cotinine levels <10 ng/mL are considered to be consistent with no active smoking. Values of 10 ng/mL to 100 ng/mL are associated with light smoking or moderate passive exposure, and levels above 300 ng/mL are seen in heavy smokers - more than 20 cigarettes a day. In urine, values between 11 ng/mL and 30 ng/mL may be associated with light smoking or passive exposure, and levels in active smokers typically reach 500 ng/mL or more.
1 nanogram (ng) = 0.001 microgram (ug). 1 milliliter (mL) = 0.01 deciliter (dL) (ng / mL) * (ug / ng) * (mL / dL) = ug / dL Therefore, 1 ng / mL = (1 ng / mL) * (0.001 ug / ng) * (mL / 0.01 dL) = 0.1 ug / dL

To convert from micrograms per gram (ug/g) to nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL), you need the density of the substance in grams per milliliter. Once you have the density, you can multiply 7 ug/g by the density to convert to ng/mL because 1 ug = 1000 ng and 1 g = 1 mL.
ng/ml
The concentration of the substance in the sample is measured in micromoles per nanogram per milliliter (um to ng/ml).
To convert nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml) to micromoles per liter (um), you can use the conversion factor of 1 ng/ml 2.78 x 10-6 umol/L.
Not Good
0.1 ng/mL is high, but not a critical value (depending on laboratory policy)normal range is 0.006-0.040 ng/mL
IU are a measure of biological activity, specific for, and different for each nutrient, ng is a unit of weight, ml is a unit of volume.
ML stands for 1050 in Roman numerals.
ml = 1050 xii = 12
