Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does hectomol/second measure?
-
Hectomol/second measures the amount of substance passing a point per second, used for high-rate chemical process flows equivalent to 100 moles per second.
-
When should I convert to femtomol/second?
-
Convert to femtomol/second when dealing with very small molar flows, such as in single-cell metabolite analysis or microfluidic reagent delivery.
-
How do I avoid errors in scale differences?
-
Understand the vast difference in magnitude between hectomol and femtomol units and consider the context of your application to interpret values correctly.
