What does 1 femtomol/second represent?

It measures the flow rate of 1×10⁻¹⁵ moles of substance transferred per second, used for extremely small scale chemical fluxes.

Why convert femtomol/second to picomol/second?

Converting to picomol/second allows expression of trace molar flows in a scale more common in biochemical and microfluidic studies for easier comparison.

Can this conversion be used in mass spectrometry?

Yes, it's useful for reporting sample fluxes and calibrating flow rates in highly sensitive mass spectrometry applications.
