Convert microliter to drop
Please provide values below to convert microliter [µL] to drop [drop], or Convert drop to microliter.
1 µL = 0.02 drop. To convert microliter to drop, multiply the value by 0.02; to go the other way, divide by it (1 drop = 50 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 = 0.02 drop
- 1 drop = 50 µL
- 10 µL = 0.2 drop
- 100 µL = 2 drop
How to Convert Microliter to Drop
1 µL = 0.02 drop
Example: convert 15 µL to drop:
15 µL = 15 × 0.02 drop = 0.3 drop

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.
Drop
A drop is a small unit of liquid volume typically used to measure small quantities of liquids, such as medicines or ingredients in cooking.
History/Origin
The concept of a drop as a unit has been used informally for centuries, often based on the amount of liquid dispensed from a dropper or similar device. Its exact volume has varied historically and culturally, but it is generally standardized in modern measurements.
Current Use
The drop is commonly used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and cooking to measure small amounts of liquids, with a standard volume approximately equal to 0.05 milliliters.
Frequently Asked Questions
