Enter the value in IU/mL and the conversion factor into the calculator to convert the value to U/mL. This calculator helps in converting International Units per milliliter to Units per milliliter, which is often necessary in medical dosing and biochemical assays.

IU/mL to U/mL Conversion Formula

The following formula is used to convert IU/mL to U/mL:

U/mL = IU/mL * CF

Variables:

  • U/mL is the value in Units per milliliter
  • IU/mL is the value in International Units per milliliter
  • CF is the conversion factor from IU to U

To convert IU/mL to U/mL, multiply the value in IU/mL by the conversion factor (CF).

What is IU/mL?

IU/mL stands for International Units per milliliter and is a measure used to quantify vitamins, hormones, some medications, vaccines, blood products, and similar biologically active substances. Each substance or medication has a different conversion factor for converting IU to U, based on its biological activity or effect.

How to Convert IU/mL to U/mL?

The following steps outline how to convert IU/mL to U/mL:

  1. First, determine the value in IU/mL that you want to convert.
  2. Next, determine the conversion factor (CF) for the specific substance or medication.
  3. Use the formula U/mL = IU/mL * CF to calculate the value in U/mL.
  4. Enter the values into the calculator above to verify your result.

Example Problem:

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

Value in IU/mL = 50 IU/mL

Conversion Factor (CF) = 0.025

Using the formula, the value in U/mL would be 50 IU/mL * 0.025 = 1.25 U/mL.
