Microkatals to international units
Type a value in µkat to get it in U instantly.
60U
That's about the same as a blood sample. That converts about 6.022×10¹⁷ molecules every second.
Convert the other way: U to µkat
What it means
How fast does it work?
Activity depends on temperature, pH and substrate concentration, so figures are only comparable under the same assay conditions.
The math
How to convert µkat to U
To convert microkatals to international units, multiply by 60.
Example: 1 µkat × 60 = 60 U.
In the other direction, 1 U = 0.0166667 µkat.
