Convert femtoliter to cubic meter
Please provide values below to convert femtoliter [fL] to cubic meter [m^3], or Convert cubic meter to femtoliter.
1 fL = 1.0000e-18 m^3. To convert femtoliter to cubic meter, multiply the value by 1.0000e-18; to go the other way, divide by it (1 m^3 = 1.0000e+18 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-18 m^3
- 1 m^3 = 1.0000e+18 fL
- 10 fL = 1.0000e-17 m^3
- 100 fL = 1.0000e-16 m^3
How to Convert Femtoliter to Cubic Meter
1 fL = 1e-18 m^3
Example: convert 15 fL to m^3:
15 fL = 15 × 1e-18 m^3 = 1.5e-17 m^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.
Cubic Meter
A cubic meter (m^3) is the SI unit of volume, representing the volume of a cube with edges one meter long.
History/Origin
The cubic meter was established as part of the International System of Units (SI) in 1960, based on the meter defined by the wavelength of light in vacuum.
Current Use
The cubic meter is widely used in science, engineering, and industry to measure large volumes of liquids, gases, and solids, especially in contexts like construction, manufacturing, and environmental science.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 femtoliter in cubic meter?
1 femtoliter (fL) = 1.0000e-18 cubic meter (m^3).
How do you convert femtoliter to cubic meter?
Multiply the femtoliter value by 1.0000e-18. For example, 25 fL × 1.0000e-18 = 2.5000e-17 m^3.
What is 10 femtoliter in cubic meter?
10 fL = 1.0000e-17 m^3.
Which unit is larger, the femtoliter or the cubic meter?
The cubic meter is the larger unit: 1 fL equals only 1.0000e-18 m^3.
