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

It measures the molar flow rate representing micro moles of substance passing per second, used in fields like microfluidics and biochemical assays.

Why convert micromol/second to picomol/second?

Converting to picomol/second allows measurement of flow rates one million times smaller, providing greater detail and precision in microscale chemical or biological processes.

Are there challenges when working with such small units?

Yes, precise instrumentation calibration and environmental control are important due to possible sensitivity limits and noise affecting low flow measurements.
