How to Convert Milliliters to Femtoliters
To convert milliliters to femtoliters, multiply the volume by the following conversion ratio: 1e+12 femtoliters/milliliter.
Since one milliliter is equal to 1e+12 femtoliters, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The volume in femtoliters is equal to the volume in milliliters multiplied by 1e+12.
For example, here's how to convert 5 milliliters to femtoliters using the formula above.
How Many Femtoliters Are in a Milliliter?
There are 1e+12 femtoliters in a milliliter, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
Our milliliter to femtoliter calculator automatically converts your volume measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.
Milliliters and femtoliters are both units used to measure volume. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.
What Is a Milliliter?
A milliliter is a unit of volume equal to 1/1,000 of a liter (0.001 L). One-thousandth of a liter, identical to 1 cubic centimeter (cc). [1]
The milliliter is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of volume. Milliliters can be abbreviated as mL; for example, 1 milliliter can be written as 1 mL.
In the metric system, "milli" is the standard SI prefix for thousandths, or 10⁻³. This makes the milliliter (mL) a convenient decimal multiple of the liter (L).
In practice, milliliters (mL) are widely used across fine-tolerance laboratory, analytical, and micro-scale volume measurements within SI metric workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
What Is a Femtoliter?
A femtoliter is a unit of volume equal to 1e-15 liters (L), the base unit for volume. 10⁻¹⁵ liters (1 µm³), used in hematology (mean corpuscular volume). [2]
The femtoliter is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of volume. Femtoliters can be abbreviated as fL; for example, 1 femtoliter can be written as 1 fL.
In the metric system, "femto" is the standard SI prefix for quadrillionths, or 10⁻¹⁵. This makes the femtoliter (fL) a convenient decimal multiple of the liter (L).
In practice, femtoliters (fL) are widely used across fine-tolerance laboratory, analytical, and micro-scale volume measurements within SI metric workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
When converting volume between milliliters (mL) and femtoliters (fL), keep full floating-point precision (1 mL = 1e+12 fL; 1 fL = 1e-12 mL) during intermediate calculations and round only the final femtoliter figure to match your instrument tolerance.
