Convert Microliters to Nanoliters
Convert Microliters (μL) to Nanoliters (nL) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
nL = μL × 1000
About Microliters
A microliter (μL) = 10⁻⁶ L = 1 mm³. Standard unit for tiny liquid volumes in laboratory science and medicine. PCR, DNA extraction, and ELISA assays are routinely measured in μL. Insulin syringes: 100-1,000 μL; laboratory micropipettes: 0.5-1,000 μL. 1 μL = 10⁻⁶ L = 1 mm³.
About Nanoliters
A nanoliter (nL) = 10⁻⁹ L. High-throughput drug screening platforms dispense 1-100 nL per well across 384- or 1,536-well plates. Acoustic liquid handlers (Echo) transfer nL volumes with <10% error CV. A human red blood cell ≈0.09 nL; a typical mammalian cell 1-4 nL. Capillary electrophoresis separates proteins in nL sample plugs. 1 nL = 10⁻⁹ L.
