Convert nanogram to milligram
Please provide values below to convert nanogram [ng] to milligram [mg], or Convert milligram to nanogram.
1 ng = 1e-06 mg. To convert nanogram to milligram, multiply the value by 1e-06; to go the other way, divide by it (1 mg = 1000000 ng). Both units measure weight and mass and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 ng = 1e-06 mg
- 1 mg = 1000000 ng
- 10 ng = 1e-05 mg
- 100 ng = 0.0001 mg
How to Convert Nanogram to Milligram
1 ng = 1e-06 mg
Example: convert 15 ng to mg:
15 ng = 15 × 1e-06 mg = 1.5e-05 mg

Nanogram
A nanogram (ng) is a unit of mass equal to one billionth (10^-9) of a gram.
History/Origin
The nanogram was introduced as part of the metric system to measure extremely small quantities, especially in scientific and medical fields, as the need for precise measurement of tiny masses grew with technological advancements.
Current Use
Nanograms are commonly used in scientific research, pharmaceuticals, and environmental testing to measure very small amounts of substances accurately.
Milligram
A milligram (mg) is a unit of mass equal to one thousandth of a gram.
History/Origin
The milligram has been used in scientific and medical contexts for precise measurement of small quantities, especially in pharmacology and chemistry, with its origins linked to the metric system established in the 18th century.
Current Use
Today, the milligram is widely used in pharmaceuticals, nutrition, and scientific research to measure small amounts of substances accurately.
