Convert Femtomoles per minute to Moles per second
Convert Femtomoles per minute (fmol/min) to Moles per second (mol/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
mol/s = fmol/min × 1.666666667e-17
About Femtomoles per minute
The femtomole per minute (fmol/min) equals 10⁻¹⁵/60 ≈ 1.667×10⁻¹⁷ mol/s, used in microplate enzyme-kinetics assays where the reaction progress over minutes is tracked at sub-picomolar concentrations. High-sensitivity ELISA assays for cytokines and high-affinity receptor-binding studies report rates at fmol/min. 1 fmol/min = 1/60 fmol/s ≈ 1.667×10⁻¹⁷ mol/s.
About Moles per second
The mole per second (mol/s) is the SI coherent derived unit of molar flow rate, numerically equal to the katal (kat) for catalytic activity contexts. Industrial ammonia synthesis (Haber-Bosch) produces ≈50 mol/s of NH₃ per tonne/h output; a large turbine combustion chamber burns natural gas at ≈500 mol/s of CH₄. It is the reference unit in process simulation mass balances. 1 mol/s = 3 600 mol/h = 60 mol/min.
