kg = lb × 0.453592

Gram → Ounce

oz = g × 0.035274

Ounce → Gram

g = oz × 28.3495

Formula

μg = oz × 28349523

One ounce is 28.35 million micrograms — a large number because micrograms are tiny. US food manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, and chemical processors occasionally need to convert between ounce-based measurements (from US customary equipment or regulations) and microgram-based metric records.
