Convert nanoliter to gigaliter
Enter a value below to convert nanoliter [nL] to gigaliter [GL]. Reverse conversion: Convert gigaliter to nanoliter.
1 nL = 1.0000e-18 GL. To convert nanoliter to gigaliter, multiply the value by 1.0000e-18; to go the other way, divide by it (1 GL = 1.0000e+18 nL). Both units measure volume and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Nanoliter to Gigaliter: Quick Reference
- 1 nL = 1.0000e-18 GL
- 1 GL = 1.0000e+18 nL
- 10 nL = 1.0000e-17 GL
- 100 nL = 1.0000e-16 GL
How to Convert Nanoliter to Gigaliter
1 nL = 1e-18 GL
Example: convert 15 nL to GL:
15 nL = 15 × 1e-18 GL = 1.5e-17 GL

Nanoliter: Definition and Use
A nanoliter (nL) is a unit of volume equal to one billionth of a liter (10^-9 liters).
History/Origin
The nanoliter was introduced as part of the metric system's expansion to include smaller units for scientific and industrial measurements, particularly in fields like biology and chemistry, during the 20th century.
Current Use
Nanoliters are commonly used in laboratories for precise measurements of small liquid volumes, such as in microfluidics, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical research.
Gigaliter: Definition and Use
A gigaliter (GL) is a unit of volume equal to one billion liters (10^9 liters).
History/Origin
The gigaliter is part of the metric system, introduced as a standard unit for large-scale volume measurements, especially in environmental and industrial contexts, following the adoption of the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
Gigaliters are used to measure large quantities of liquids, such as water resources, in environmental studies, water management, and large-scale industrial processes.
