Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does femtomol per second measure?
-
It measures an extremely small molar flow rate equal to 10⁻¹⁵ moles transferred per second, useful in cellular and microfluidic applications.
-
Why convert femtomol/second to millimol/minute?
-
To express ultra-small molar flow rates in larger, more commonly used units applicable in enzyme kinetics, reactor studies, and biomedical research.
-
Can I use this converter for irregular or transient flows?
-
The conversion assumes steady flow rates and may not accurately represent transient or fluctuating conditions.
Key Terminology
-
Femtomol/second (fmol/s)
-
A very small molar flow rate equal to 10⁻¹⁵ moles per second, used to quantify substance flow at microscopic scales.
