Quick demo

Keep in mind, that the below conversions are purely derived from the information defined in the QUDT ontology, taking advantage from the fact that the have the same unit type, qudt:MolarConcentrationUnit and qudt:TemperatureUnit respectively.

Source:

Quantity obs = new Quantity(0.1, Micromolar.getInstance());
System.out.println(obs + " = " +  obs.convertTo(Nanomolar.getInstance()));

Quantity temp = new Quantity(20, TemperatureUnit.CELSIUS);
System.out.println(temp + " = " +  temp.convertTo(TemperatureUnit.KELVIN));

Output

0.1 μM = 100.00000000000001 nM
20.0 C = 293.0 K
