Convert femtoliter to centiliter
Please provide values below to convert femtoliter [fL] to centiliter [cL], or Convert centiliter to femtoliter.
1 fL = 1.0000e-13 cL. To convert femtoliter to centiliter, multiply the value by 1.0000e-13; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cL = 1.0000e+13 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-13 cL
- 1 cL = 1.0000e+13 fL
- 10 fL = 1.0000e-12 cL
- 100 fL = 1.0000e-11 cL
How to Convert Femtoliter to Centiliter
1 fL = 1e-13 cL
Example: convert 15 fL to cL:
15 fL = 15 × 1e-13 cL = 1.5e-12 cL

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.
Centiliter
A centiliter (cL) is a unit of volume equal to one hundredth of a liter, commonly used to measure small quantities of liquids.
History/Origin
The centiliter was introduced as part of the metric system to provide convenient subdivisions of the liter, which was established in the late 18th century during the development of the metric system in France.
Current Use
The centiliter is used primarily in countries that utilize the metric system for measuring liquids, such as in beverage labeling, cooking, and scientific contexts, especially in Europe.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 femtoliter in centiliter?
1 femtoliter (fL) = 1.0000e-13 centiliter (cL).
How do you convert femtoliter to centiliter?
Multiply the femtoliter value by 1.0000e-13. For example, 25 fL × 1.0000e-13 = 2.5000e-12 cL.
What is 10 femtoliter in centiliter?
10 fL = 1.0000e-12 cL.
Which unit is larger, the femtoliter or the centiliter?
The centiliter is the larger unit: 1 fL equals only 1.0000e-13 cL.
