Answer 1

Hi Leslie!

Do you mean gtt/min? Typically these questions will give you a drop factor for your micro drip tubing. It seems this question is missing that info.

If you are needing ml/min you just divide 100ml by 45min and that will give you the ml/min for 45 minutes.

Let me know if you find that other info.
