Convert centiliter to nanoliter
Please provide values below to convert centiliter [cL] to nanoliter [nL], or Convert nanoliter to centiliter.
1 cL = 10000000 nL. To convert centiliter to nanoliter, multiply the value by 10000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 nL = 1e-07 cL). Both units measure volume and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 cL = 10000000 nL
- 1 nL = 1e-07 cL
- 10 cL = 100000000 nL
- 100 cL = 1000000000 nL
How to Convert Centiliter to Nanoliter
1 cL = 10000000 nL
Example: convert 15 cL to nL:
15 cL = 15 × 10000000 nL = 150000000 nL

Centiliter
A centiliter (cL) is a unit of volume equal to one hundredth of a liter, commonly used to measure small quantities of liquids.
History/Origin
The centiliter was introduced as part of the metric system to provide convenient subdivisions of the liter, which was established in the late 18th century during the development of the metric system in France.
Current Use
The centiliter is used primarily in countries that utilize the metric system for measuring liquids, such as in beverage labeling, cooking, and scientific contexts, especially in Europe.
Nanoliter
A nanoliter (nL) is a unit of volume equal to one billionth of a liter (10^-9 liters).
History/Origin
The nanoliter was introduced as part of the metric system's expansion to include smaller units for scientific and industrial measurements, particularly in fields like biology and chemistry, during the 20th century.
Current Use
Nanoliters are commonly used in laboratories for precise measurements of small liquid volumes, such as in microfluidics, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical research.
