Convert megaliter to femtoliter
Please provide values below to convert megaliter [ML] to femtoliter [fL], or Convert femtoliter to megaliter.
1 ML = 1.0000e+21 fL. To convert megaliter to femtoliter, multiply the value by 1.0000e+21; to go the other way, divide by it (1 fL = 1.0000e-21 ML). Both units measure volume and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 ML = 1.0000e+21 fL
- 1 fL = 1.0000e-21 ML
- 10 ML = 1.0000e+22 fL
- 100 ML = 1.0000e+23 fL
How to Convert Megaliter to Femtoliter
1 ML = 1e+21 fL
Example: convert 15 ML to fL:
15 ML = 15 × 1e+21 fL = 1.5e+22 fL

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.
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.
