Convert nanoliter to drop
Please provide values below to convert nanoliter [nL] to drop [drop], or Convert drop to nanoliter.
1 nL = 2e-05 drop. To convert nanoliter to drop, multiply the value by 2e-05; to go the other way, divide by it (1 drop = 50000 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 = 2e-05 drop
- 1 drop = 50000 nL
- 10 nL = 0.0002 drop
- 100 nL = 0.002 drop
How to Convert Nanoliter to Drop
1 nL = 2e-05 drop
Example: convert 15 nL to drop:
15 nL = 15 × 2e-05 drop = 0.0003 drop

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.
Drop
A drop is a small unit of liquid volume typically used to measure small quantities of liquids, such as medicines or ingredients in cooking.
History/Origin
The concept of a drop as a unit has been used informally for centuries, often based on the amount of liquid dispensed from a dropper or similar device. Its exact volume has varied historically and culturally, but it is generally standardized in modern measurements.
Current Use
The drop is commonly used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and cooking to measure small amounts of liquids, with a standard volume approximately equal to 0.05 milliliters.
