Convert femtoliter to deciliter
Enter a value below to convert femtoliter [fL] to deciliter [dL]. Reverse conversion: Convert deciliter to femtoliter.
1 fL = 1.0000e-14 dL. To convert femtoliter to deciliter, multiply the value by 1.0000e-14; to go the other way, divide by it (1 dL = 1.0000e+14 fL). Both units measure volume and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Femtoliter to Deciliter: Quick Reference
- 1 fL = 1.0000e-14 dL
- 1 dL = 1.0000e+14 fL
- 10 fL = 1.0000e-13 dL
- 100 fL = 1.0000e-12 dL
How to Convert Femtoliter to Deciliter
1 fL = 1e-14 dL
Example: convert 15 fL to dL:
15 fL = 15 × 1e-14 dL = 1.5e-13 dL

Femtoliter: Definition and Use
A femtoliter (fL) is a unit of volume equal to 10^-15 liters, used to measure extremely small quantities.
History/Origin
The femtoliter was introduced as part of the SI prefixes for metric units, specifically to quantify very small volumes in scientific research, particularly in biology and chemistry.
Current Use
Femtoliters are commonly used in fields such as cell biology, microfluidics, and nanotechnology to measure tiny volumes like individual cells, droplets, or nanoliter-scale samples.
Deciliter: Definition and Use
A deciliter (dL) is a unit of volume equal to one-tenth of a liter, commonly used to measure liquids.
History/Origin
The deciliter was introduced as part of the metric system in the 19th century to provide a convenient subdivision of the liter, facilitating measurements in cooking and scientific contexts.
Current Use
Deciliters are used in various countries for measuring liquids in cooking, nutrition labeling, and scientific experiments, especially where metric units are standard.
Femtoliter to Deciliter: Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 femtoliter in deciliter?
1 femtoliter (fL) = 1.0000e-14 deciliter (dL).
How do you convert femtoliter to deciliter?
Multiply the femtoliter value by 1.0000e-14. For example, 25 fL × 1.0000e-14 = 2.5000e-13 dL.
