What Is This Tool?
This unit converter transforms values representing molar flow rate from millimoles per minute, commonly used in biochemical and chemical process contexts, into attomoles per second, which measure extremely small flow rates encountered in nano- and micro-scale experiments.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the molar flow rate value in millimol per minute (mmol/min).
-
Select the target unit as attomol per second (amol/s).
-
Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent flow rate in attomol per second.
Key Features
-
Converts molar flow units from mmol/min to amol/s accurately based on defined conversion rates.
-
Supports applications in enzyme kinetics, chemical reactor monitoring, biomedical research, and nanotechnology.
-

Examples
-
Convert 2 mmol/min to amol/s: 2 × 16666666666667 = 33333333333334 amol/s.
-
Convert 0.5 mmol/min to amol/s: 0.5 × 16666666666667 = 8333333333333.5 amol/s.
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting enzyme catalytic activity by expressing product formation rates in biochemical studies.
-
Specifying reactant feed and product exit rates during chemical reactor design.
-
Measuring secretion or uptake rates from single cells in microfluidic experiments.
-
Analyzing analyte fluxes with high-sensitivity mass spectrometry.
-
Managing nanofluidic sensor reagent delivery rates in nanotechnology.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure input values reflect appropriate molar flow rates in mmol/min before conversion.
-
Note the large scale difference between mmol/min and amol/s units when interpreting results.
-
Use precise measurement instruments and consider sensitivity limits when working at attomol/s scale.
Limitations
-
The enormous difference in scale between units demands careful instrumentation to avoid error.
-
Experimental noise and detection limits may affect accuracy when measuring attomol per second flows.
-
Conversion does not account for rounding precision or instrument calibration factors.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does millimol per minute measure?
-
Millimol per minute measures the amount of substance flow in moles per time, often used to describe reaction or transport rates.
-
Why use attomol per second units?
-
Attomol per second units quantify extremely small molar flow rates encountered in micro- and nanofluidic systems and single-molecule experiments.
-
Is the conversion between mmol/min and amol/s straightforward?
-
Yes, the conversion uses a fixed rate but due to scale differences, sensitivity and precision considerations are important.
