What are Carat and Picogram

A carat, symbolized as 'ct,' is a unit of weight used for gemstones and pearls. The carat, which equals 200 milligrams, is internationally recognized and often used in the jewelry industry. One carat can be further subdivided into 100 points to provide a precise measurement. The definition adheres to a standardized metric carat established in the early 20th century to ensure consistency in the trade of gemstones.

A picogram is a unit of mass in the metric system, symbolized as 'pg.' It equals one trillionth (1/1,000,000,000,000) of a gram, which is the standard unit of mass in the metric system. This incredibly small measurement is used in scientific fields such as chemistry, biology, and pharmacology, where precision at a molecular level is crucial. The picogram helps in quantifying extremely minute substances, such as DNA strands or pharmaceutical doses.
