What is a deciliter (dL)?

A deciliter is a volume unit equal to one-tenth of a liter or 100 milliliters, commonly used in cooking, clinical labs, and chemical formulations.

What applications use nanoliter (nL) measurements?

Nanoliter units are used in microfluidics, molecular biology assays, and droplet-based manufacturing processes requiring ultra-small volume specifications.

How do I convert from deciliter to nanoliter?

Multiply the value in deciliters by 100,000,000 to get the equivalent volume in nanoliters.
