Convert tablespoon (metric) to microliter
Please provide values below to convert tablespoon (metric) [tbsp (metric)] to microliter [µL], or Convert microliter to tablespoon (metric).
1 tbsp (metric) = 15000 µL. To convert tablespoon (metric) to microliter, multiply the value by 15000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µL = 6.66666666667e-05 tbsp (metric)). Both units measure volume and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 tbsp (metric) = 15000 µL
- 1 µL = 6.66666666667e-05 tbsp (metric)
- 10 tbsp (metric) = 150000 µL

Tablespoon (Metric)
A tablespoon (metric) is a unit of volume measurement equal to 15 milliliters.
History/Origin
The tablespoon originated from the traditional use of a tablespoon as a measure of the amount of food that could be held in a typical tablespoon, with standardization occurring in the metric system to ensure consistency across measurements.
Current Use
The metric tablespoon is commonly used in cooking and food preparation to measure ingredients, especially in recipes requiring precise volume measurements.
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.
