Convert microliter to teaspoon (metric)
Please provide values below to convert microliter [µL] to teaspoon (metric) [tsp (metric)], or Convert teaspoon (metric) to microliter.
1 µL = 0.0002 tsp (metric). To convert microliter to teaspoon (metric), multiply the value by 0.0002; to go the other way, divide by it (1 tsp (metric) = 5000 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 = 0.0002 tsp (metric)
- 1 tsp (metric) = 5000 µL
- 10 µL = 0.002 tsp (metric)
- 100 µL = 0.02 tsp (metric)
How to Convert Microliter to Teaspoon (Metric)
1 µL = 0.0002 tsp (metric)
Example: convert 15 µL to tsp (metric):
15 µL = 15 × 0.0002 tsp (metric) = 0.003 tsp (metric)

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.
Teaspoon (Metric)
A teaspoon (tsp) is a unit of volume measurement commonly used in cooking, equal to approximately 5 milliliters in the metric system.
History/Origin
The teaspoon originated from the traditional spoon used for eating and serving, standardized over time for measurement purposes. Its metric equivalent was established to facilitate consistent cooking and recipe measurements worldwide.
Current Use
Today, the teaspoon is widely used in cooking and baking to measure small quantities of ingredients. It is also employed in medicine for dosing and in various measurement conversions within the culinary and scientific fields.
