Convert Millimoles per minute to Picomoles per second
Convert Millimoles per minute (mmol/min) to Picomoles per second (pmol/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
pmol/s = mmol/min × 16666666.67
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 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.
