Convert attoliter to femtoliter
Please provide values below to convert attoliter [aL] to femtoliter [fL], or Convert femtoliter to attoliter.
1 aL = 0.001 fL. To convert attoliter to femtoliter, multiply the value by 0.001; to go the other way, divide by it (1 fL = 1000 aL). Both units measure volume and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 aL = 0.001 fL
- 1 fL = 1000 aL
- 10 aL = 0.01 fL
- 100 aL = 0.1 fL
How to Convert Attoliter to Femtoliter
1 aL = 0.001 fL
Example: convert 15 aL to fL:
15 aL = 15 × 0.001 fL = 0.015 fL

Attoliter
An attoliter (aL) is a unit of volume equal to 10^-18 liters, representing an extremely small volume measurement.
History/Origin
The attoliter was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to create standardized prefixes for very small quantities, following the adoption of the International System of Units (SI). It is derived from the prefix 'atto-' which denotes 10^-18.
Current Use
Attoliters are primarily used in scientific research, particularly in fields like biochemistry and nanotechnology, to measure tiny volumes such as those of individual molecules or small biological samples.
Femtoliter
A femtoliter (fL) is a unit of volume equal to 10^-15 liters, used to measure extremely small quantities.
History/Origin
The femtoliter was introduced as part of the SI prefixes for metric units, specifically to quantify very small volumes in scientific research, particularly in biology and chemistry.
Current Use
Femtoliters are commonly used in fields such as cell biology, microfluidics, and nanotechnology to measure tiny volumes like individual cells, droplets, or nanoliter-scale samples.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 attoliter in femtoliter?
1 attoliter (aL) = 0.001 femtoliter (fL).
How do you convert attoliter to femtoliter?
Multiply the attoliter value by 0.001. For example, 25 aL × 0.001 = 0.025 fL.
What is 10 attoliter in femtoliter?
10 aL = 0.01 fL.
Which unit is larger, the attoliter or the femtoliter?
The femtoliter is the larger unit: 1 aL equals only 0.001 fL.
