Convert Micromoles per minute to Millimoles per second
Convert Micromoles per minute (µmol/min) to Millimoles per second (mmol/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
mmol/s = µmol/min × 1.666666667e-5
About Micromoles per minute
The micromole per minute (µmol/min) equals 10⁻⁶/60 ≈ 1.667×10⁻⁸ mol/s, the dominant enzyme-activity unit in biochemistry (1 µmol/min = 1 International Unit of enzyme activity). Spectrophotometric Vmax determinations, blood glucose consumption by the resting brain (≈12 µmol/min), and HPLC fraction collector outputs are expressed in µmol/min. 1 µmol/min = 1/60 µkat ≈ 1.667×10⁻⁸ mol/s.
About Millimoles per second
The millimole per second (mmol/s) equals 10⁻³ mol/s, used in mid-scale continuous-flow chemistry and laboratory reactor design. A syringe pump delivering 10 mL/min of a 6 mmol/L reagent solution delivers 1 mmol/s to the reactor; 1 mmol/s is also the millicatalytic unit (mkat) used as an aggregate activity measure in industrial bioprocess monitoring. 1 mmol/s = 10⁻³ mol/s = 3.6 mol/h.
