What does picomol per second measure?

Picomol per second (pmol/s) measures the rate of an amount of substance passing a point at a scale of 10^-12 moles per second, often used for very low flows in biochemical or microfluidic contexts.

Why convert pmol/s to mol/s?

Converting pmol/s to mol/s allows comparing very small flow rates to the standard SI unit mol/s, facilitating analysis across different scientific and engineering applications.

Can this tool be used for gas flow rates?

Yes, mol/s is used for quantifying gas flow rates in process equipment, so converting from pmol/s can support assessments involving gases at very low molar flows.
