nanoliter to microliter
Convert nanoliter (nL) to microliter (μL). Use an editable volume converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 nL = 0.001 μL
Conversion formula
One nanoliter equals 0.001 microliter. Multiply your value in nanoliter by this factor to get microliter. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 nanoliter:5 × 0.001 = 0.005 μL

About these measurements
Volume describes three-dimensional space or liquid capacity.
The base reference used here is the liter. One nanoliter is 1e-9 base units; one microliter is 0.000001 base units.
Important distinctions
US liquid measures and Imperial measures are different. Dry gallons and recipe cups are excluded.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
