Convert microliter to attoliter
Please provide values below to convert microliter [µL] to attoliter [aL], or Convert attoliter to microliter.
1 µL = 1.0000e+12 aL. To convert microliter to attoliter, multiply the value by 1.0000e+12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 aL = 1.0000e-12 µL). Both units measure volume and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 µL = 1.0000e+12 aL
- 1 aL = 1.0000e-12 µL
- 10 µL = 1.0000e+13 aL
- 100 µL = 1.0000e+14 aL
How to Convert Microliter to Attoliter
1 µL = 1000000000000 aL
Example: convert 15 µL to aL:
15 µL = 15 × 1000000000000 aL = 15000000000000 aL

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.
Attoliter
An attoliter (aL) is a unit of volume equal to 10^-18 liters, representing an extremely small volume measurement.
History/Origin
The attoliter was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to create standardized prefixes for very small quantities, following the adoption of the International System of Units (SI). It is derived from the prefix 'atto-' which denotes 10^-18.
Current Use
Attoliters are primarily used in scientific research, particularly in fields like biochemistry and nanotechnology, to measure tiny volumes such as those of individual molecules or small biological samples.
