Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does micromol/second represent?
-
It represents a molar flow rate of 10⁻⁶ moles per second, commonly used to measure very small substance flows in microfluidics and biochemical assays.
-
When should I use millimol/minute units?
-
Millimol/minute is used to express molar flow rates on a minute time scale, suitable for enzyme kinetics, chemical reactor monitoring, and biomedical infusion studies.
-
Can this conversion be used for transient flows?
-
No, the conversion assumes steady flow conditions and may not be accurate for transient or highly variable flows.
Key Terminology
-
Micromol/second [µmol/s]
-
A unit measuring molar flow equal to 10⁻⁶ moles per second, used for very small substance flows.
