Other pages agree with what's posted on this forum (1 ng/ml = 1 mcg/L):

100 ng/mL is equivalent to 100 mcg/L in SI units

25 micrograms per litre (mcg/L) (SI units) is equivalent to 25 nanograms per millilitre (ng/mL)

If you click on each unit, you get more explanation:

Micrograms per litre (µg/L)

Some medical tests give results in micrograms per litre (µg/L).

A microgram is one-millionth of a gram. A gram is about 1/40 of an ounce.
A litre measures fluid volume. It is a little bigger than a quart.

Nanograms per millilitre (ng/mL)

Some medical tests give results in nanograms (ng) per millilitre (mL).

A nanogram is one-billionth of a gram. A gram is about 1/40 of an ounce.
A millilitre measures fluid volume equal to 1/1000 litre. A litre is a little bigger than a quart.
