Convert femtoliter to cc
Please provide values below to convert femtoliter [fL] to cc [cc, cm^3], or Convert cc to femtoliter.
1 fL = 1.0000e-12 cc, cm^3. To convert femtoliter to cc, multiply the value by 1.0000e-12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cc, cm^3 = 1e+12 fL). Both units measure volume and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 fL = 1.0000e-12 cc, cm^3
- 1 cc, cm^3 = 1e+12 fL
- 10 fL = 1.0000e-11 cc, cm^3
- 100 fL = 1.0000e-10 cc, cm^3
How to Convert Femtoliter to Cc
1 fL = 1e-12 cc, cm^3
Example: convert 15 fL to cc, cm^3:
15 fL = 15 × 1e-12 cc, cm^3 = 1.5e-11 cc, cm^3

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.
Cc
The cubic centimeter (cc or cm^3) is a unit of volume representing the volume of a cube with sides of one centimeter.
History/Origin
The cubic centimeter has been used in scientific and medical contexts as a convenient measure of small volumes, especially in fields like medicine and engineering, evolving from the metric system's adoption in the 19th century.
Current Use
Today, the cubic centimeter is commonly used to measure small volumes in medicine (e.g., syringe capacities), automotive engine displacements, and scientific applications, often interchangeably with milliliters (mL).
Frequently Asked Questions
