Convert microliter to femtoliter
Please provide values below to convert microliter [µL] to femtoliter [fL], or Convert femtoliter to microliter.
1 µL = 1000000000 fL. To convert microliter to femtoliter, multiply the value by 1000000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 fL = 1e-09 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 = 1000000000 fL
- 1 fL = 1e-09 µL
- 10 µL = 10000000000 fL
- 100 µL = 100000000000 fL
How to Convert Microliter to Femtoliter
1 µL = 1000000000 fL
Example: convert 15 µL to fL:
15 µL = 15 × 1000000000 fL = 15000000000 fL

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.
Femtoliter
A femtoliter (fL) is a unit of volume equal to 10^-15 liters, used to measure extremely small quantities.
History/Origin
The femtoliter was introduced as part of the SI prefixes for metric units, specifically to quantify very small volumes in scientific research, particularly in biology and chemistry.
Current Use
Femtoliters are commonly used in fields such as cell biology, microfluidics, and nanotechnology to measure tiny volumes like individual cells, droplets, or nanoliter-scale samples.
