CFU conversion

... mol c.f.u.-1) I want the ATP concentration (in bacterium) in millimol. Will it be just 3.39+-0.216 x 10^3 millimol? Or do I have to do some conversion for c.f.u? How to do it?

conversion

I have a primer that is 18.2 nmoles. I need to convert nanomoles to microliters. I know the final answer is 182 microliters but that's because I know a shortcut on how to figure it out. Anyone know the "official" calculation/formula? Thanks!
