Convert Micromoles per minute to Picomoles per second
Convert Micromoles per minute (µmol/min) to Picomoles per second (pmol/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
pmol/s = µmol/min × 16666.66667
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 Picomoles per second
The picomole per second (pmol/s) equals 10⁻¹² mol/s, the scale of neurotransmitter release at individual synapses and elution peaks in capillary electrophoresis. Cardiac troponin release from ischaemic myocytes is estimated at 1-10 pmol/s per cell; sub-microlitre continuous-flow microreactors in drug-discovery automation operate at this throughput. 1 pmol/s = 10⁻¹² mol/s = 1000 fmol/s.
