Convert Picomoles per minute to Micromoles per second
Convert Picomoles per minute (pmol/min) to Micromoles per second (µmol/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
µmol/s = pmol/min × 1.666666667e-8
About Picomoles per minute
The picomole per minute (pmol/min) equals 10⁻¹²/60 ≈ 1.667×10⁻¹⁴ mol/s, the working unit for radioligand binding assays and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor chip experiments in pharmacology. Receptor-saturation kinetics studies and piezoelectric microbalance flow-cell experiments are analysed in pmol/min. 1 pmol/min ≈ 1.667×10⁻¹⁴ 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.
