The MIC is often expressed in micrograms per milliliter (μg/mL) or milligrams per liter (mg/L). In diagnostic labs, MIC test results are used to grade the susceptibility of microbes. These grades are assigned based on agreed upon values called breakpoints.
In the metric system, a microgram or microgramme is a unit of mass equal to one millionth (1 × 10 −6) of a gram. The unit symbol is μg according to the International System of Units (SI); the recommended symbol in the United States and United Kingdom when communicating medical information is mcg .

Common elemental [17] and vitamin [18] doses are measured in milligrams per day (mg/d) or micrograms per day (μg/d). Common macronutrient [ 19 ] doses are in grams per day (g/d). Recommended doses for all three are established by both gender and age.

When using a path length that is shorter than 10mm, the resultant OD will be reduced by a factor of 10/path length. Using the example above with a 3 mm path length, the OD for the 100 μg/mL sample would be reduced to 0.6. To normalize the concentration to a 10mm equivalent, the following is done: 0.6 OD X (10/3) * 50 μg/mL=100 μg/mL
When asked about the possibility that one of the permitted substances had been contaminated with TMZ, Tygart said that the amount of TMZ found in Valieva’s system — 2.1 nanograms per ...
The two alternatives are to abbreviate as "mcg" [14] [3] or to write out "microgram" in full (see also List of abbreviations used in medical prescriptions). The alternative abbreviation may be ambiguous in rare circumstances in that mcg could also be read as a micrigram , i.e. 10 −14 g; however the prefix micri is not standard, nor widely ...
