convertimate Osmolarity

Millimolar to milliosmoles per liter

Type a value in mM to get it in mOsm/L instantly.

150mOsm/L

That's about the same as a hypotonic solution. That is hypotonic: cells placed in it would swell.

What it means

How concentrated is that?

Real salts do not dissociate perfectly, so measured osmolarity runs a few percent below the ideal figure. The osmotic coefficient of saline is about 0.93.

The math

How to convert mM to mOsm/L

Osmosis counts particles: mOsm/L = mmol/L × particles per molecule. The figures below use the solute selected above.

Example: 150 mM = 150 mOsm/L.

The table below is for Glucose (1 particle).

About these units

Millimolar (mM)

Millimoles per liter, before counting the particles each one splits into.

Milliosmoles per liter (mOsm/L)

The clinical standard. Plasma is about 290 of them.
