Convert femtoliter to picoliter
Please provide values below to convert femtoliter [fL] to picoliter [pL], or Convert picoliter to femtoliter.
1 fL = 0.001 pL. To convert femtoliter to picoliter, multiply the value by 0.001; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pL = 1000 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 = 0.001 pL
- 1 pL = 1000 fL
- 10 fL = 0.01 pL
- 100 fL = 0.1 pL
How to Convert Femtoliter to Picoliter
1 fL = 0.001 pL
Example: convert 15 fL to pL:
15 fL = 15 × 0.001 pL = 0.015 pL

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.
Picoliter
A picoliter (pL) is a unit of volume equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a liter.
History/Origin
The picoliter was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to create smaller units for measuring very small volumes, especially in scientific and technological fields, during the late 20th century.
Current Use
Picoliters are commonly used in fields such as biochemistry, molecular biology, and microfluidics to measure tiny liquid volumes, such as in DNA analysis, microarray experiments, and lab-on-a-chip devices.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 femtoliter in picoliter?
1 femtoliter (fL) = 0.001 picoliter (pL).
How do you convert femtoliter to picoliter?
Multiply the femtoliter value by 0.001. For example, 25 fL × 0.001 = 0.025 pL.
What is 10 femtoliter in picoliter?
10 fL = 0.01 pL.
Which unit is larger, the femtoliter or the picoliter?
The picoliter is the larger unit: 1 fL equals only 0.001 pL.
