Beer Lambert Law

... 6.22*10^3l.mol^-1cm^-1 now I have started this by rearranging the beer lambert equation so c = A / E *l so for example one of my readings was for serum = 0.854 so i did c = 0.854 / (6.22*1) = 0.137 and I am stuck there. I am not sure what units is the results and what i do to convert it to micromols?? ...
