Calculates the molar concentration for a given compound's SI concentration.

1	calc_conc(conc = 1, MW, SIu, Mu)

`conc`	numeric. Observed SI concentration of compound.
`MW`	numeric. Molecular weight of compound ( D (g/mol)).
`SIu`	character. SI Units of observed concentration: 'm/V'. Options restricted to: m = g , mg, ug, ng, pg V = L , mL, uL, nL, pL
`Mu`	character. Desired molar units of concentration: 'M', 'mM', 'uM', 'nM', 'pM'

Utilises the formula

C = ( m / V )( 1 / MW ),

where C is concentration in desired molar units.

Tips:

If SI units given for Mu, and MW = 1, function will perform a simple SI unit conversion.
Set conc = 1 (default) if you simply want to return the unit conversion factor.

numeric. The molar concentration of the compound, with unit Mu.

Will Haese-Hill

Observed SI concentration of compound 1000 ug/L.
Compound has molecular weight 494.56 D (g/mol).
Desired units for molar concentration: nM.

new_conc <- calc_conc(conc = 1000, MW = 494.56, SIu = 'ug/L', Mu = 'nM')

new_conc = 2022, so 1000 ug/L of this particular compound is equal to ~2022 nM.
