Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the exact conversion rate from cc to microliters?
-
One cubic centimeter (cc) is equal to 1000 microliters (µL).
-
Why convert cc to microliters in laboratory settings?
-
Microliters allow for precise measurements of very small volumes needed in molecular biology and clinical assays.
-
Are cc and milliliters the same volume unit?
-
Yes, 1 cc is exactly equal to 1 milliliter (mL).
Key Terminology
-
Cubic Centimeter (cc or cm^3)
-
A volume unit equal to a cube with sides of 1 centimeter, exactly equal to 1 milliliter.
-
Microliter (µL)
-
A volume unit equal to one millionth of a litre, commonly used for measuring very small liquid volumes in labs.
