Convert centiliter to microliter
Please provide values below to convert centiliter [cL] to microliter [µL], or Convert microliter to centiliter.
1 cL = 10000 µL. To convert centiliter to microliter, multiply the value by 10000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µL = 0.0001 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 = 10000 µL
- 1 µL = 0.0001 cL
- 10 cL = 100000 µL
- 100 cL = 1000000 µL
How to Convert Centiliter to Microliter
1 cL = 10000 µL
Example: convert 15 cL to µL:
15 cL = 15 × 10000 µL = 150000 µL

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.
Microliter
A microliter (µL) is a unit of volume equal to one millionth of a liter, or 10^-6 liters.
History/Origin
The microliter was introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate precise measurement in scientific and medical fields, especially with the advent of micro-scale laboratory techniques.
Current Use
Microliters are commonly used in laboratories for measuring small liquid volumes, such as in chemistry, biology, and medical diagnostics, often in conjunction with micropipettes and microfluidic devices.
