Convert Disintegrations per minute to Nanobecquerels

Convert Disintegrations per minute (dpm) to Nanobecquerels (nBq) instantly and accurately.

Conversion Formula

nBq = dpm × 16666666.67

About Disintegrations per minute

The disintegration per minute (dpm) equals exactly 1/60 Bq ≈ 16.7 mBq. Standard output unit of liquid scintillation counters (LSC) in biochemical and biomedical research for ³H and ¹⁴C tracer assays; radioimmunoassay protocols report results in dpm/well. 1 dpm = 1/60 Bq = 60 dph.

About Nanobecquerels

The nanobecquerel (nBq) equals 10⁻⁹ Bq. Atmospheric surveillance for tritium and ¹⁴C near nuclear facilities reports discharge rates in nBq/m³; EU drinking water directives set indicator activity concentrations for some radionuclides at the nBq/L level. 1 nBq = 10⁻⁹ Bq = 10⁻³ µBq.
