Convert picoliter to liter
Please provide values below to convert picoliter [pL] to liter [L, l], or Convert liter to picoliter.
1 pL = 1.0000e-12 L, l. To convert picoliter to liter, multiply the value by 1.0000e-12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 L, l = 1e+12 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 = 1.0000e-12 L, l
- 1 L, l = 1e+12 pL
- 10 pL = 1.0000e-11 L, l
- 100 pL = 1.0000e-10 L, l
How to Convert Picoliter to Liter
1 pL = 1e-12 L, l
Example: convert 15 pL to L, l:
15 pL = 15 × 1e-12 L, l = 1.5e-11 L, l

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.
Liter
The liter (L, l) is a metric unit of volume equal to one cubic decimeter, commonly used to measure liquids and other substances.
History/Origin
The liter was introduced in France in 1795 as part of the metric system, based on the cubic decimeter, and has since become a standard unit of volume worldwide.
Current Use
The liter is widely used in science, industry, and daily life for measuring liquids, beverages, and other fluids, especially in countries using the metric system.
