Convert picoliter to attoliter
Please provide values below to convert picoliter [pL] to attoliter [aL], or Convert attoliter to picoliter.
1 pL = 1000000 aL. To convert picoliter to attoliter, multiply the value by 1000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 aL = 1e-06 pL). Both units measure volume and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 pL = 1000000 aL
- 1 aL = 1e-06 pL
- 10 pL = 10000000 aL
- 100 pL = 100000000 aL
How to Convert Picoliter to Attoliter
1 pL = 1000000 aL
Example: convert 15 pL to aL:
15 pL = 15 × 1000000 aL = 15000000 aL

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.
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.
