Convert nanoliter to attoliter
Please provide values below to convert nanoliter [nL] to attoliter [aL], or Convert attoliter to nanoliter.
1 nL = 1000000000 aL. To convert nanoliter to attoliter, multiply the value by 1000000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 aL = 1.0000e-09 nL). Both units measure volume and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 nL = 1000000000 aL
- 1 aL = 1.0000e-09 nL
- 10 nL = 10000000000 aL
- 100 nL = 100000000000 aL
How to Convert Nanoliter to Attoliter
1 nL = 1000000000 aL
Example: convert 15 nL to aL:
15 nL = 15 × 1000000000 aL = 15000000000 aL

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.
Attoliter
An attoliter (aL) is a unit of volume equal to 10^-18 liters, representing an extremely small volume measurement.
History/Origin
The attoliter was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to create standardized prefixes for very small quantities, following the adoption of the International System of Units (SI). It is derived from the prefix 'atto-' which denotes 10^-18.
Current Use
Attoliters are primarily used in scientific research, particularly in fields like biochemistry and nanotechnology, to measure tiny volumes such as those of individual molecules or small biological samples.
