Convert nanoliter to picoliter
Please provide values below to convert nanoliter [nL] to picoliter [pL], or Convert picoliter to nanoliter.
1 nL = 1000 pL. To convert nanoliter to picoliter, multiply the value by 1000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pL = 0.001 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 = 1000 pL
- 1 pL = 0.001 nL
- 10 nL = 10000 pL
- 100 nL = 100000 pL
How to Convert Nanoliter to Picoliter
1 nL = 1000 pL
Example: convert 15 nL to pL:
15 nL = 15 × 1000 pL = 15000 pL

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.
Picoliter
A picoliter (pL) is a unit of volume equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a liter.
History/Origin
The picoliter was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to create smaller units for measuring very small volumes, especially in scientific and technological fields, during the late 20th century.
Current Use
Picoliters are commonly used in fields such as biochemistry, molecular biology, and microfluidics to measure tiny liquid volumes, such as in DNA analysis, microarray experiments, and lab-on-a-chip devices.
