Convert cubic centimeter to femtoliter
Please provide values below to convert cubic centimeter [cm^3] to femtoliter [fL], or Convert femtoliter to cubic centimeter.
1 cm^3 = 1e+12 fL. To convert cubic centimeter to femtoliter, multiply the value by 1e+12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 fL = 1.0000e-12 cm^3). Both units measure volume and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 cm^3 = 1e+12 fL
- 1 fL = 1.0000e-12 cm^3
- 10 cm^3 = 1.0000e+13 fL
- 100 cm^3 = 1.0000e+14 fL
How to Convert Cubic Centimeter to Femtoliter
1 cm^3 = 1000000000000 fL
Example: convert 15 cm^3 to fL:
15 cm^3 = 15 × 1000000000000 fL = 15000000000000 fL

Cubic Centimeter
A cubic centimeter (cm^3) is a unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube with sides of one centimeter.
History/Origin
The cubic centimeter has been used in scientific and engineering contexts as a standard unit of volume measurement, especially in fields like medicine and chemistry, since the adoption of the metric system in the 19th century.
Current Use
Today, the cubic centimeter is commonly used to measure small volumes in medicine (e.g., dosage), automotive engine capacities, and scientific experiments, often interchangeably with milliliters (mL).
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.
