If I was going to buy a chemical where the size was described as 1 mCi; 37 MBq, what does this mean? How much is that in normal weight? Thanks.

That's not a measurement of size or mass, it's activity---a measurement of how radioactive a given quantity of substance is. 1 millicurie is equal to 37 megabecquerel. If you don't know this, I doubt you have any reason to be playing with radioactive elements.

If you don't know what a mCi is, you don't need to buy it, and if you do need to, you probably need 250 uCi. Make sure before you order it because if not used in time the extra will go to waste. What isotope is this for what application?
