micromole to picomole
Convert micromole (μmol) to picomole (pmol). Use an editable amount of substance converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 μmol = 1,000,000 pmol
Conversion formula
One micromole equals 1,000,000 picomole. Multiply your value in micromole by this factor to get picomole. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 micromole:5 × 1,000,000 = 5,000,000 pmol

About these measurements
Amount of substance counts specified elementary entities in moles.
The base reference used here is the mole. One micromole is 0.000001 base units; one picomole is 1e-12 base units.
Important distinctions
Always specify whether the entities are atoms, molecules, ions, or another defined type.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert μmol to pmol?
Multiply the quantity in μmol by 1,000,000. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the picomole to micromole converter.
