nanomole
Billionth of mole
A nanomole is one billionth of a mole—the standard unit for measuring amounts of a substance in chemistry.
The prefix nano- indicates 10⁻⁹.
Nanomoles are used when measuring tiny quantities of chemicals or biological molecules: The blood sample contained 15 nanomoles of glucose per liter.
