Convert Nanomoles per minute to Moles per second
Convert Nanomoles per minute (nmol/min) to Moles per second (mol/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
mol/s = nmol/min × 1.666666667e-11
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 Moles per second
The mole per second (mol/s) is the SI coherent derived unit of molar flow rate, numerically equal to the katal (kat) for catalytic activity contexts. Industrial ammonia synthesis (Haber-Bosch) produces ≈50 mol/s of NH₃ per tonne/h output; a large turbine combustion chamber burns natural gas at ≈500 mol/s of CH₄. It is the reference unit in process simulation mass balances. 1 mol/s = 3 600 mol/h = 60 mol/min.
