What does micromol/second (µmol/s) measure?

It measures the amount of substance in micromoles passing a point per second, used for very small molar flow rates in contexts like microfluidics and enzyme assays.

When should I use kilomol/minute (kmol/min)?

Kilomol/minute is used to express molar flow rates in larger scale industrial and chemical engineering applications, such as controlling feed rates in reactors.

How is the conversion between µmol/s and kmol/min performed?

The conversion relies on the formula 1 µmol/s equals 6e-8 kmol/min, enabling translating small scale flows to industrial scale units.
