Convert Nanomoles per minute to Micromoles per second
Convert Nanomoles per minute (nmol/min) to Micromoles per second (µmol/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
µmol/s = nmol/min × 1.666666667e-5
About Nanomoles per minute
The nanomole per minute (nmol/min) equals 10⁻⁹/60 ≈ 1.667×10⁻¹¹ mol/s, used for low-activity enzyme assays and transporter-kinetics studies. In vitro drug metabolism studies with human liver microsomes express CYP450 enzyme activity in nmol/min/mg protein; glucuronidation and sulfation rates for xenobiotics are reported in the same units. 1 nmol/min ≈ 1.667×10⁻¹¹ mol/s.
About Micromoles per second
The micromole per second (µmol/s) equals 10⁻⁶ mol/s and is numerically equal to the katal (kat) - the SI unit of catalytic activity. One katal of enzyme converts exactly 1 µmol of substrate per second; preparative HPLC columns and benchtop continuous-flow synthesis reactors commonly operate at µmol/s throughput. 1 µmol/s = 1 µkat = 10⁻⁶ mol/s = 60 µmol/min.
