How to convert % w/v to milligrams per deciliter
mg/dL = % w/v × 1,000Multiply the value in % w/v by 1,000. To go the other way, multiply by 0.001 (or divide by 1,000).
A percent weight/volume is larger than a milligram per deciliter: one percent weight/volume contains 1,000 milligrams per deciliter.

About the units
Percent weight/volume (% w/v)
Grams of solute per 100 mL of solution; saline is 0.9% w/v (9 g/L).
Milligram per deciliter (mg/dL)
Common in US clinical lab reports (e.g. cholesterol, glucose). One milligram per deciliter equals 0.01 grams per liter (g/L).
Frequently asked questions
How many milligrams per deciliter are in one percent weight/volume?
There are 1,000 milligrams per deciliter in one percent weight/volume, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert % w/v to milligrams per deciliter?
Multiply the number of % w/v by 1,000. For example, 10 % w/v × 1,000 = 10,000 mg/dL.
How many % w/v are in one milligram per deciliter?
One milligram per deciliter equals 0.001 % w/v. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 1,000.
What is 10 % w/v in milligrams per deciliter?
10 % w/v = 10,000 mg/dL.
Is this % w/v to mg/dL converter accurate?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
