Convert Nanoliters to Minims
Convert Nanoliters (nL) to Minims (min) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
min = nL × 1.623073090e-5
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.
About Minims
A minim (min) is the smallest US apothecary unit = 1/480 fl oz ≈ 0.0616 mL, defined as approximately one drop of water. 60 minims = one fluid dram; 480 minims = one fluid ounce. Now largely superseded by millilitres, minims survive in traditional compounding recipes, older US pharmacopeias, and historical pharmaceutical literature. 1 min ≈ 0.0616 mL.
