Volume conversion

4 units, with L as the base. Every value in the factor table is the number you multiply by, so reading across a row converts out of that unit and reading down a column converts into it.

Factor table

Volume conversion factors. Each cell is the value to multiply the row unit by to get the column unit.
from \ to nLµLmLL
nL 1 0.001 1 × 10⁻⁶ 1 × 10⁻⁹
µL 1000 1 0.001 1 × 10⁻⁶
mL 1 × 10⁶ 1000 1 0.001
L 1 × 10⁹ 1 × 10⁶ 1000 1

Prefixes such as milli, micro and kilo follow the SI prefixes table.

Common conversions

mL to L

1 mL = 0.001 L. In reverse, 1 L = 1000 mL.

µL to mL

1 µL = 0.001 mL. In reverse, 1 mL = 1000 µL.

Convert a number

The table gives the factor; the unit converter does the arithmetic, remembers the units you picked, and turns any conversion into a link you can share.
