Convert nanoliter to femtoliter
Please provide values below to convert nanoliter [nL] to femtoliter [fL], or Convert femtoliter to nanoliter.
1 nL = 1000000 fL. To convert nanoliter to femtoliter, multiply the value by 1000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 fL = 1e-06 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 = 1000000 fL
- 1 fL = 1e-06 nL
- 10 nL = 10000000 fL
- 100 nL = 100000000 fL
How to Convert Nanoliter to Femtoliter
1 nL = 1000000 fL
Example: convert 15 nL to fL:
15 nL = 15 × 1000000 fL = 15000000 fL

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.
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.
