What does micromol/second represent?

Micromol/second (µmol/s) is an SI-derived unit representing 10⁻⁶ moles of substance flowing per second, commonly used in contexts involving very small molar flow rates like microfluidics and biochemical assays.

When should I convert to megamol/second?

Converting to megamol/second is useful when comparing or integrating very small molar flows with large-scale industrial flows, such as in chemical manufacturing or gas processing.

Why are the converted values so small?

Because a micromol/second equals 1e-12 megamol/second, numerical results after conversion are very small and often require scientific notation for precision.
