picoliter to femtoliter
Convert picoliter (pL) to femtoliter (fL). Use an editable volume converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 pL = 1,000 fL
Conversion formula
One picoliter equals 1,000 femtoliter. Multiply your value in picoliter by this factor to get femtoliter. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 picoliter:5 × 1,000 = 5,000 fL

About these measurements
Volume describes three-dimensional space or liquid capacity.
The base reference used here is the liter. One picoliter is 1e-12 base units; one femtoliter is 1e-15 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.
