Convert femtoliter to microliter
Please provide values below to convert femtoliter [fL] to microliter [µL], or Convert microliter to femtoliter.
1 fL = 1e-09 µL. To convert femtoliter to microliter, multiply the value by 1e-09; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µL = 1000000000 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-09 µL
- 1 µL = 1000000000 fL
- 10 fL = 1e-08 µL
- 100 fL = 1e-07 µL
How to Convert Femtoliter to Microliter
1 fL = 1e-09 µL
Example: convert 15 fL to µL:
15 fL = 15 × 1e-09 µL = 1.5e-08 µL

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.
Microliter
A microliter (µL) is a unit of volume equal to one millionth of a liter, or 10^-6 liters.
History/Origin
The microliter was introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate precise measurement in scientific and medical fields, especially with the advent of micro-scale laboratory techniques.
Current Use
Microliters are commonly used in laboratories for measuring small liquid volumes, such as in chemistry, biology, and medical diagnostics, often in conjunction with micropipettes and microfluidic devices.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 femtoliter in microliter?
1 femtoliter (fL) = 1e-09 microliter (µL).
How do you convert femtoliter to microliter?
Multiply the femtoliter value by 1e-09. For example, 25 fL × 1e-09 = 2.5e-08 µL.
What is 10 femtoliter in microliter?
10 fL = 1e-08 µL.
Which unit is larger, the femtoliter or the microliter?
The microliter is the larger unit: 1 fL equals only 1e-09 µL.
