Convert femtoliter to megaliter
Please provide values below to convert femtoliter [fL] to megaliter [ML], or Convert megaliter to femtoliter.
1 fL = 1.0000e-21 ML. To convert femtoliter to megaliter, multiply the value by 1.0000e-21; to go the other way, divide by it (1 ML = 1.0000e+21 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-21 ML
- 1 ML = 1.0000e+21 fL
- 10 fL = 1.0000e-20 ML
- 100 fL = 1.0000e-19 ML
How to Convert Femtoliter to Megaliter
1 fL = 1e-21 ML
Example: convert 15 fL to ML:
15 fL = 15 × 1e-21 ML = 1.5e-20 ML

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.
Megaliter
A megaliter (ML) is a unit of volume equal to one million liters.
History/Origin
The megaliter is part of the metric system, introduced as a larger unit for measuring large volumes, especially in water management and environmental contexts, following the adoption of the metric system in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Current Use
Megaliters are used today in fields such as hydrology, water resource management, and environmental science to quantify large volumes of liquids, particularly water.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 femtoliter in megaliter?
1 femtoliter (fL) = 1.0000e-21 megaliter (ML).
How do you convert femtoliter to megaliter?
Multiply the femtoliter value by 1.0000e-21. For example, 25 fL × 1.0000e-21 = 2.5000e-20 ML.
What is 10 femtoliter in megaliter?
10 fL = 1.0000e-20 ML.
Which unit is larger, the femtoliter or the megaliter?
The megaliter is the larger unit: 1 fL equals only 1.0000e-21 ML.
