Use the results to compare nanoscale volumes with everyday volume units

Key Features

Converts volume between attoliters and centiliters with ease
Provides a clear conversion formula: 1 aL equals 1e-16 cL
User-friendly and browser-based for quick access
Supports applications from nanotechnology research to culinary measurements

Examples

5 attoliters equal 5 × 1e-16 centiliters, which is 5e-16 cL
10 attoliters equal 10 × 1e-16 centiliters, which is 1e-15 cL

Common Use Cases

Describing mode volumes in optical microcavities and plasmonic hotspots in nanophotonics
Quantifying fluid volumes in nanofluidic devices and nanopore sensors for single-molecule studies
Estimating tiny enclosed volumes in nanoscale droplets or cavities in nanotechnology research
Measuring small liquid portions in food, beverage, and culinary recipes
Reporting small reagent or sample volumes in laboratory and clinical settings

Tips & Best Practices

Use this converter to gain conceptual understanding when dealing with extremely small nanoscale volumes
Be aware that due to scale differences, centiliter values may be extremely small and less practical for direct measurement
Verify volume requirements to choose appropriate unit precision for your application
Always cross-check conversions when applying results in experimental or clinical contexts

Limitations

Attoliter measures volumes at an extremely small scale not usually practical for centiliter measurements
Conversions to centiliters are often theoretical and may not translate to meaningful measurement precision
Large scale difference can cause very tiny converted values, leading to potential precision loss in typical instruments
