Convert picoliter to microliter
Please provide values below to convert picoliter [pL] to microliter [µL], or Convert microliter to picoliter.
1 pL = 1e-06 µL. To convert picoliter to microliter, multiply the value by 1e-06; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µL = 1000000 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 = 1e-06 µL
- 1 µL = 1000000 pL
- 10 pL = 1e-05 µL
- 100 pL = 0.0001 µL
How to Convert Picoliter to Microliter
1 pL = 1e-06 µL
Example: convert 15 pL to µL:
15 pL = 15 × 1e-06 µL = 1.5e-05 µL

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.
Microliter
A microliter (µL) is a unit of volume equal to one millionth of a liter, or 10^-6 liters.
History/Origin
The microliter was introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate precise measurement in scientific and medical fields, especially with the advent of micro-scale laboratory techniques.
Current Use
Microliters are commonly used in laboratories for measuring small liquid volumes, such as in chemistry, biology, and medical diagnostics, often in conjunction with micropipettes and microfluidic devices.
