Nanomole

Nanomole is a unit of measurement used in chemistry to denote 1/1,000,000,000 of a mole. It is commonly used in molecular biology and biochemistry to quantify very small amounts of chemical substances.

Definition

A nanomole (nmol) is a SI derived unit of amount of substance. It is defined as 1/1,000,000,000 of a mole, which is the SI base unit for amount of substance. The symbol for nanomole is "nmol".

Usage

Nanomole is commonly used in molecular biology and biochemistry to quantify very small amounts of chemical substances. It is often used in the context of concentrations of substances in a solution, where it is more convenient to use a smaller unit than the mole.

Conversion

One nanomole is equal to 1/1,000,000,000 of a mole. Therefore, to convert from moles to nanomoles, you would multiply the number of moles by 1,000,000,000. Conversely, to convert from nanomoles to moles, you would divide the number of nanomoles by 1,000,000,000.
