About Nanosiemens
The nanosiemens (nS) equals 10⁻⁹ S, the scale for JFET gate leakage, ion-channel patch-clamp measurements, and high-value resistor characterisation. A 1 GΩ resistor presents 1 nS; single open ion channels in biological membranes are quantified in nanosiemens by patch-clamp electrophysiology; environmental soil conductivity sensors use nanosiemens readouts at high resistivity. 1 nS = 10⁻³ µS = 10⁻⁹ S.
About Millisiemens
The millisiemens (mS) equals 10⁻³ S, covering physiological saline, seawater, and electrochemical cell conductances. Seawater conductivity is about 50 mS/cm; blood plasma is around 15 mS/cm; a 1 kΩ resistor presents 1 mS; a forward-biased transistor junction at a few milliamperes has dynamic conductance in the millisiemens range. 1 mS = 10⁻³ S = 10³ µS.
