Convert attoliter to picoliter
Please provide values below to convert attoliter [aL] to picoliter [pL], or Convert picoliter to attoliter.
1 aL = 1e-06 pL. To convert attoliter to picoliter, multiply the value by 1e-06; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pL = 1000000 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 = 1e-06 pL
- 1 pL = 1000000 aL
- 10 aL = 1e-05 pL
- 100 aL = 0.0001 pL
How to Convert Attoliter to Picoliter
1 aL = 1e-06 pL
Example: convert 15 aL to pL:
15 aL = 15 × 1e-06 pL = 1.5e-05 pL

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.
Picoliter
A picoliter (pL) is a unit of volume equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a liter.
History/Origin
The picoliter was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to create smaller units for measuring very small volumes, especially in scientific and technological fields, during the late 20th century.
Current Use
Picoliters are commonly used in fields such as biochemistry, molecular biology, and microfluidics to measure tiny liquid volumes, such as in DNA analysis, microarray experiments, and lab-on-a-chip devices.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 attoliter in picoliter?
1 attoliter (aL) = 1e-06 picoliter (pL).
How do you convert attoliter to picoliter?
Multiply the attoliter value by 1e-06. For example, 25 aL × 1e-06 = 2.5e-05 pL.
What is 10 attoliter in picoliter?
10 aL = 1e-05 pL.
Which unit is larger, the attoliter or the picoliter?
The picoliter is the larger unit: 1 aL equals only 1e-06 pL.
