ng/mL\text{ng/mL}

nanogram per millilitre

Mass concentrationexact by definition

One nanogram in one millilitre, numerically equal to one microgram per litre. It is the unit of therapeutic drug levels, hormone assays and immunoassay results — quantities small enough that the analytical method is usually the limiting factor.

Watch out: Equal to one part per billion in water. At this level a result is inseparable from its method: what was extracted, what recovery was assumed, and what the instrument's detection limit was. A bare ng/mL figure without that context is not really a measurement.
