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

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.
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.
