Convert drop to picoliter
Please provide values below to convert drop [drop] to picoliter [pL], or Convert picoliter to drop.
1 drop = 50000000 pL. To convert drop to picoliter, multiply the value by 50000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pL = 2e-08 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 = 50000000 pL
- 1 pL = 2e-08 drop
- 10 drop = 500000000 pL
- 100 drop = 5000000000 pL
How to Convert Drop to Picoliter
1 drop = 50000000 pL
Example: convert 15 drop to pL:
15 drop = 15 × 50000000 pL = 750000000 pL

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.
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.
