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

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.
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.
