About This Calculator
This converter transforms biochemical concentration between millimoles per liter (mmol/L) and milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) using the compound’s molecular weight. It's ideal for labs reporting in mmol/L but referencing mg/dL standards.
How It Works
- Choose the conversion direction: mmol/L to mg/dL (default) or reverse.
- Select a target molecule to autofill its molecular weight.
- Enter the value and convert using the formulas below:
mg/dL =
mmol/L × Molecular Weight10
mmol/L =
mg/dL × 10Molecular Weight
Note: Conversion assumes 1 dL = 0.1 L and molecular weight is in g/mol.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why convert mmol/L to mg/dL?
To interpret results across labs or clinical guidelines using different units.
Can I edit the molecular weight?
Yes, you can input custom values for any compound.
Is it suitable for clinical reporting?
Yes, especially for blood analytes like glucose, cholesterol, creatinine, etc.
Does it work both directions?
Yes, you can switch direction anytime with the toggle.
Does this consider fluid properties?
No, conversion is purely molecular and volumetric.
