What is a centiliter used for?

A centiliter is commonly used for measuring small food and beverage portions, culinary recipes, and clinical sample volumes when coarse precision is sufficient.

Why convert centiliters to microliters?

Conversion is useful to measure and manipulate very small liquid volumes with finer resolution needed in laboratory assays and pharmaceutical preparations.

What is the conversion factor from centiliters to microliters?

One centiliter equals ten thousand microliters (1 cL = 10,000 µL).
