Milliosmoles per liter to osmoles per liter

Type a value in mOsm/L to get it in Osm/L instantly.

0.15Osm/L

That's about the same as a hypotonic solution. That is hypotonic: cells placed in it would swell.

What it means

How concentrated is that?

Real salts do not dissociate perfectly, so measured osmolarity runs a few percent below the ideal figure. The osmotic coefficient of saline is about 0.93.

The math

How to convert mOsm/L to Osm/L

To convert milliosmoles per liter to osmoles per liter, multiply by 0.001.

Example: 150 mOsm/L × 0.001 = 0.15 Osm/L.

In the other direction, 1 Osm/L = 1,000 mOsm/L.

The table below is for Glucose (1 particle).
