Convert microliter to cc
Please provide values below to convert microliter [µL] to cc [cc, cm^3], or Convert cc to microliter.
1 µL = 0.001 cc, cm^3. To convert microliter to cc, multiply the value by 0.001; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cc, cm^3 = 1000 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 = 0.001 cc, cm^3
- 1 cc, cm^3 = 1000 µL
- 10 µL = 0.01 cc, cm^3
- 100 µL = 0.1 cc, cm^3
How to Convert Microliter to Cc
1 µL = 0.001 cc, cm^3
Example: convert 15 µL to cc, cm^3:
15 µL = 15 × 0.001 cc, cm^3 = 0.015 cc, cm^3

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.
Cc
The cubic centimeter (cc or cm^3) is a unit of volume representing the volume of a cube with sides of one centimeter.
History/Origin
The cubic centimeter has been used in scientific and medical contexts as a convenient measure of small volumes, especially in fields like medicine and engineering, evolving from the metric system's adoption in the 19th century.
Current Use
Today, the cubic centimeter is commonly used to measure small volumes in medicine (e.g., syringe capacities), automotive engine displacements, and scientific applications, often interchangeably with milliliters (mL).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 microliter in cc?
1 microliter (µL) = 0.001 cc (cc, cm^3).
How do you convert microliter to cc?
Multiply the microliter value by 0.001. For example, 25 µL × 0.001 = 0.025 cc, cm^3.
What is 10 microliter in cc?
10 µL = 0.01 cc, cm^3.
Which unit is larger, the microliter or the cc?
The cc is the larger unit: 1 µL equals only 0.001 cc, cm^3.
