-
Quantification at femtomol flow rates may be affected by detection limits in biological and chemical assays.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does centimol per second measure?
-
Centimol per second (cmol/s) measures the amount of substance passing a point or through a stream per unit time, equal to 0.01 moles per second.
-
What is a femtomol per second used for?
-
Femtomol per second (fmol/s) quantifies extremely small molar flow rates relevant in chemical and biological systems, such as single-cell metabolite secretion.
-
Why convert from cmol/s to fmol/s?
-
Converting from cmol/s to fmol/s helps bridge molar flow measurements from moderate low-scale chemical processing to ultra-sensitive biological and nanotechnological contexts.
Key Terminology
-
Centimol per second (cmol/s)
-
A unit of molar flow rate equal to 0.01 moles per second, used in chemical engineering and kinetics.
-
Femtomol per second (fmol/s)
-
A molar flow rate unit representing 1×10⁻¹⁵ moles per second, relevant to very small-scale chemical and biological systems.
-
Molar flow rate
-
The amount of substance passing through a point or stream per unit time.
