What Is This Tool?
This converter helps you transform measurements from nanomol per second (nmol/s) to micromol per second (µmol/s). These units express molar flow rates commonly used in biochemical assays, microfluidics, and pharmacological studies to quantify substance transfer rates over time.
How to Use This Tool?

Selecting an inappropriate unit may lead to loss of meaningful precision or confusion
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does a nanomol per second measure?
-
A nanomol per second quantifies the flow rate of a substance at a scale of 10⁻⁹ moles transferred or consumed per second, typically used for very small molar quantities.
-
Why convert from nanomol/second to micromol/second?
-
Converting to micromol/second helps scale very small molar flow rates into larger units, simplifying quantification and reporting especially in biochemical and microfluidic contexts.
-
Are the conversion factors exact?
-
Yes, the conversion uses an exact factor of 0.001, but practical accuracy may vary due to experimental conditions and instrument resolution.
Key Terminology
-
Nanomol per second (nmol/s)
-
A unit of molar flow rate equal to 10⁻⁹ moles of substance transferred or consumed per second, used for very small amounts.
-
Micromol per second (µmol/s)
-
An SI derived unit of molar flow rate equal to 10⁻⁶ moles of substance transported or produced per second, suited for small-scale scientific applications.
