Key Terminology
-
Femtomol/second [fmol/s]
-
A molar flow rate representing 1×10⁻¹⁵ moles of substance transferred each second, used for extremely small scale biochemical measurements.
-
Nanomol/second [nmol/s]
-
A molar flow rate representing 10⁻⁹ moles of substance transferred each second, a scaled SI derived unit for small amounts.
-
Molar Flow Rate
-
The rate at which substance amount changes over time, expressed in moles per unit time.
