Convert drop to nanoliter
Please provide values below to convert drop [drop] to nanoliter [nL], or Convert nanoliter to drop.
1 drop = 50000 nL. To convert drop to nanoliter, multiply the value by 50000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 nL = 2e-05 drop). Both units measure volume and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 drop = 50000 nL
- 1 nL = 2e-05 drop
- 10 drop = 500000 nL
- 100 drop = 5000000 nL
How to Convert Drop to Nanoliter
1 drop = 50000 nL
Example: convert 15 drop to nL:
15 drop = 15 × 50000 nL = 750000 nL

Drop
A drop is a small unit of liquid volume typically used to measure small quantities of liquids, such as medicines or ingredients in cooking.
History/Origin
The concept of a drop as a unit has been used informally for centuries, often based on the amount of liquid dispensed from a dropper or similar device. Its exact volume has varied historically and culturally, but it is generally standardized in modern measurements.
Current Use
The drop is commonly used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and cooking to measure small amounts of liquids, with a standard volume approximately equal to 0.05 milliliters.
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.
