What is a femtoliter used to measure?

A femtoliter measures extremely small volumes such as those of individual cells, microdroplets, and nanoscale reactions.

How does a cubic centimeter relate to a milliliter?

A cubic centimeter (cm³) is equivalent to one milliliter (mL), commonly used for small liquid volumes.

Why convert from femtoliter to cubic centimeter?

Conversion helps translate tiny volumes measured in scientific experiments to units familiar in medical, lab, or engineering contexts.
