Convert Millimoles per minute to Millimoles per second
Convert Millimoles per minute (mmol/min) to Millimoles per second (mmol/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
mmol/s = mmol/min × 0.01666666667
About Millimoles per minute
The millimole per minute (mmol/min) equals 10⁻³/60 ≈ 1.667×10⁻⁵ mol/s, the practical unit for metabolic flux in perfused organ systems and for HPLC column loading on preparative scale. A resting human heart consumes ≈3 mmol O₂/min via aerobic metabolism; continuous-flow reaction calorimeters for process safety studies operate at mmol/min feed rates. 1 mmol/min ≈ 1.667×10⁻⁵ 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.
