Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a millimol per second?
-
It is a molar flow rate unit representing 10⁻³ moles passing per second, commonly used in chemistry and chemical engineering.
-
Why convert from mmol/s to fmol/s?
-
Converting to femtomol per second allows expressing molar flows at much finer scales needed in sensitive biological and chemical analyses.
-
Are there limits to this conversion?
-
Yes, the large numeric factors can cause rounding errors and require precise instruments for exact measurements.
