Convert femtoliter to nanoliter
Please provide values below to convert femtoliter [fL] to nanoliter [nL], or Convert nanoliter to femtoliter.
1 fL = 1e-06 nL. To convert femtoliter to nanoliter, multiply the value by 1e-06; to go the other way, divide by it (1 nL = 1000000 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 = 1e-06 nL
- 1 nL = 1000000 fL
- 10 fL = 1e-05 nL
- 100 fL = 0.0001 nL
How to Convert Femtoliter to Nanoliter
1 fL = 1e-06 nL
Example: convert 15 fL to nL:
15 fL = 15 × 1e-06 nL = 1.5e-05 nL

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.
Nanoliter
A nanoliter (nL) is a unit of volume equal to one billionth of a liter (10^-9 liters).
History/Origin
The nanoliter was introduced as part of the metric system's expansion to include smaller units for scientific and industrial measurements, particularly in fields like biology and chemistry, during the 20th century.
Current Use
Nanoliters are commonly used in laboratories for precise measurements of small liquid volumes, such as in microfluidics, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical research.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 femtoliter in nanoliter?
1 femtoliter (fL) = 1e-06 nanoliter (nL).
How do you convert femtoliter to nanoliter?
Multiply the femtoliter value by 1e-06. For example, 25 fL × 1e-06 = 2.5e-05 nL.
What is 10 femtoliter in nanoliter?
10 fL = 1e-05 nL.
Which unit is larger, the femtoliter or the nanoliter?
The nanoliter is the larger unit: 1 fL equals only 1e-06 nL.
