What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms molar flow measurements expressed in mol/day (moles per day) into picomol/second, a smaller unit representing the quantity of substance per second on a picomole scale. It is designed for conversions relevant in chemical engineering, environmental science, and biochemical applications where different time scales and flow magnitudes need reconciliation.

Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure steady, time-averaged molar flow rates before applying this conversion.
-
Use this converter when your measurement instruments can detect picomole-level flows.
-
Be cautious with numerical scale differences to avoid errors during calculations.
-
Refer to examples to verify expected ranges of converted values.
-
Apply this tool to link daily flow data with rapid biochemical or microfluidic experiments.
Limitations
-
Assumes constant average molar flow; transient flow variations are not accounted for.
-
The unit scale difference (10^-12) requires careful handling to prevent calculation mistakes.
-
Applicability is limited if flow rates fall outside instrument detection capabilities.
-
Conversion results may be impractical for extreme high or low flow values.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does mol/day measure?
-
Mol/day quantifies the amount of substance in moles transferred or produced per 24-hour period, often used to report slow or aggregated chemical flow rates.
-
When should I convert mol/day to picomol/second?
-
You convert mol/day to picomol/second to analyze slower daily flows at a finer time resolution suited for microfluidic, biochemical assays, or sensitive instrumentation.
-
Why is picomol/second useful?
-
Picomol/second measures very small molar flows per second, ideal for precise studies involving enzymes, microreactor calibrations, or lab-on-a-chip applications.
Key Terminology
-
mol/day [mol/d]
-
A unit measuring moles of substance transferred or consumed per day, commonly used for slower or aggregated chemical flows.
-
picomol/second [pmol/s]
-
A unit representing 10^-12 moles per second, used to quantify very small chemical or biochemical flow rates.
