Convert nanoliter to microliter
Please provide values below to convert nanoliter [nL] to microliter [µL], or Convert microliter to nanoliter.
1 nL = 0.001 µL. To convert nanoliter to microliter, multiply the value by 0.001; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µL = 1000 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 = 0.001 µL
- 1 µL = 1000 nL
- 10 nL = 0.01 µL
- 100 nL = 0.1 µL
How to Convert Nanoliter to Microliter
1 nL = 0.001 µL
Example: convert 15 nL to µL:
15 nL = 15 × 0.001 µL = 0.015 µL

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.
Microliter
A microliter (µL) is a unit of volume equal to one millionth of a liter, or 10^-6 liters.
History/Origin
The microliter was introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate precise measurement in scientific and medical fields, especially with the advent of micro-scale laboratory techniques.
Current Use
Microliters are commonly used in laboratories for measuring small liquid volumes, such as in chemistry, biology, and medical diagnostics, often in conjunction with micropipettes and microfluidic devices.
