Convert cubic centimeter to picoliter
Please provide values below to convert cubic centimeter [cm^3] to picoliter [pL], or Convert picoliter to cubic centimeter.
1 cm^3 = 1000000000 pL. To convert cubic centimeter to picoliter, multiply the value by 1000000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pL = 1e-09 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 = 1000000000 pL
- 1 pL = 1e-09 cm^3
- 10 cm^3 = 10000000000 pL
- 100 cm^3 = 100000000000 pL
How to Convert Cubic Centimeter to Picoliter
1 cm^3 = 1000000000 pL
Example: convert 15 cm^3 to pL:
15 cm^3 = 15 × 1000000000 pL = 15000000000 pL

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).
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.
