Convert picoliter to drop
Please provide values below to convert picoliter [pL] to drop [drop], or Convert drop to picoliter.
1 pL = 2e-08 drop. To convert picoliter to drop, multiply the value by 2e-08; to go the other way, divide by it (1 drop = 50000000 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 = 2e-08 drop
- 1 drop = 50000000 pL
- 10 pL = 2e-07 drop
- 100 pL = 2e-06 drop
How to Convert Picoliter to Drop
1 pL = 2e-08 drop
Example: convert 15 pL to drop:
15 pL = 15 × 2e-08 drop = 3e-07 drop

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.
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.
