Description
When molarBasisKnown is true, divide activity by that factor; otherwise return molarAmount zero and molarDefined false.
A conversion factor maps a quantity onto a declared reporting basis. For ratios and rates, numerator and denominator units must be made coherent before comparison.
When molarBasisKnown is true, divide activity by that factor; otherwise return molarAmount zero and molarDefined false.
When to use this tool
Use Renal Assay Activity Molar Unit Flag when you need a transparent conversion with factors you already know.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter activity, suppliedActivityPerMole, molarBasisKnown. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read molarDefined, molarAmount. Inspect molarDefined before interpreting the associated values.
Require a positive suppliedActivityPerMole. When molarBasisKnown is true, divide activity by that factor; otherwise return molarAmount zero and molarDefined false.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |

| activity | Activity | Required. Finite number. |
| suppliedActivityPerMole | Supplied Activity Per Mole | Required. Finite number; strictly above 0. |
| molarBasisKnown | Molar Basis Known | Required. Boolean. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| molarDefined | Molar Defined | Required. Boolean. |
| molarAmount | Molar Amount | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Zero is a placeholder when the molar basis is unknown; activity-to-mole conversion is analyte and assay dependent.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Verify the laboratory's unit definitions and analyte-specific factors, then compare converted quantities on the same basis.
