Browser-based and easy to use with no installation required.
Examples
-
Convert 5 mmol/min to mmol/s: 5 × 0.0166666667 = 0.0833333335 mmol/s.
-
Convert 60 mmol/min to mmol/s: 60 × 0.0166666667 = 1 mmol/s.
Common Use Cases
-
Measuring enzyme activity rates in biochemical research.
-
Determining reactant or product feed rates in chemical reactor design.
-
Quantifying metabolic or drug infusion rates in biomedical studies.
-
Specifying reagent feed rates in continuous-flow laboratory reactors.
-
Reporting gas evolution or consumption in catalytic tests and respirometry.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure flow rates are steady and accurately measured before converting.
-
Keep in mind the fractional nature of the conversion factor to avoid rounding errors.
-
Use this conversion to gain higher temporal resolution for molar flow analyses.
-
Apply the conversion when precise timing of reactions or dosing is required.
Limitations
-
Conversion involves a fractional factor that may introduce rounding errors in sensitive calculations.
-
Accuracy depends on the steadiness and measurement precision of the original flow rates.
-
This tool converts only between mmol/min and mmol/s and does not cover other units or flow types.
