    converting M/litre to mM/min
    How do you convert moles per litre into millimolar per minute?

    I think the first step is to divide the number of moles by the volume, to give a concentration. How is that value then converted from "per litre" to "per minute"?

    Thank you!

    You have a concentration and you need to covert that into concentration per time. How you would do that depends on exactly what you're doing :yes:

    I am converting Difference in absorbance/min -------> Absorbance units/min

    Absorbance doesn't have units...

    Oh right, AU = Absorbance units which is just units for the sake of having them.
