Convert microliter to nanoliter
Please provide values below to convert microliter [µL] to nanoliter [nL], or Convert nanoliter to microliter.
1 µL = 1000 nL. To convert microliter to nanoliter, multiply the value by 1000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 nL = 0.001 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 = 1000 nL
- 1 nL = 0.001 µL
- 10 µL = 10000 nL
- 100 µL = 100000 nL
How to Convert Microliter to Nanoliter
1 µL = 1000 nL
Example: convert 15 µL to nL:
15 µL = 15 × 1000 nL = 15000 nL

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.
Nanoliter
A nanoliter (nL) is a unit of volume equal to one billionth of a liter (10^-9 liters).
History/Origin
The nanoliter was introduced as part of the metric system's expansion to include smaller units for scientific and industrial measurements, particularly in fields like biology and chemistry, during the 20th century.
Current Use
Nanoliters are commonly used in laboratories for precise measurements of small liquid volumes, such as in microfluidics, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical research.
