Convert picogram to attogram
Please provide values below to convert picogram [pg] to attogram [ag], or Convert attogram to picogram.
1 pg = 1000000 ag. To convert picogram to attogram, multiply the value by 1000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 ag = 1e-06 pg). 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 pg = 1000000 ag
- 1 ag = 1e-06 pg
- 10 pg = 10000000 ag
- 100 pg = 100000000 ag
How to Convert Picogram to Attogram
1 pg = 1000000 ag
Example: convert 15 pg to ag:
15 pg = 15 × 1000000 ag = 15000000 ag

Picogram
A picogram (pg) is a unit of mass equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a gram.
History/Origin
The picogram was introduced as part of the metric system to measure extremely small masses, especially in scientific and laboratory contexts, as a subdivision of the gram in the SI unit system.
Current Use
Picograms are used in scientific fields such as biology, chemistry, and physics to measure very small quantities of substances, including DNA, proteins, and other microscopic materials.
Attogram
An attogram (ag) is a unit of mass equal to 10^-18 grams, used to measure extremely small quantities.
History/Origin
The attogram was introduced as part of the metric system's expansion to include smaller units for scientific measurements, particularly in fields like nanotechnology and molecular biology, during the 20th century.
Current Use
Attograms are primarily used in scientific research to quantify very small masses, such as individual molecules or nanoparticles, and are part of the SI units for precise measurements in advanced scientific applications.
