What does gigamol per second represent?

Gigamol per second (Gmol/s) is a unit of molar flow rate representing one billion moles of substance passing or reacting each second, used mainly for very large-scale chemical processes.

When should I use micromol per second units?

Micromol per second (µmol/s) units are suited for measuring very small molar flow rates, such as those in microfluidics, biochemical assays, and precise reagent dosing.

Why is the conversion factor so large between these units?

Because a gigamol is 10^9 moles and a micromol is 10^-6 moles, the conversion factor reflects the difference in scale, equating to 10^15 micromol per second in one gigamol per second.
