What Is This Tool?
This tool converts volume units from microliters (µL), used for very small liquid volumes, to dekaliters (daL), suited for bulk liquid measurement. It helps bridge measurements across vastly different volume scales.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume value in microliters (µL)
-
Select microliter as the source unit and dekaliter as the target unit
-
Click the convert button to see the result in dekaliters (daL)
-
Use the conversion formula 1 µL = 1e-7 daL for manual calculations if needed
Key Features
-
Converts microliters to dekaliters with ease and accuracy
-
Supports volume conversions relevant to laboratory and industrial contexts
-
Offers quick unit conversions for scientific and practical use
-
Browser-based, no installation required
-
Ideal for handling conversions involving very small and large volumes
Examples
-
500 µL converts to 0.00005 daL
-
1,000,000 µL converts to 0.1 daL
Common Use Cases
-
Pipetting and measuring tiny fluid samples in molecular biology and clinical assays

Key Terminology
-
Microliter [µL]
-
A unit of volume equal to one millionth of a liter, used for measuring very small liquid amounts in laboratories and medical contexts.
-
Dekaliter [daL]
-
A metric unit of volume equal to ten liters, used to express bulk liquid volumes in various industries.
-
Conversion Rate
-
The factor used to change a quantity expressed in one unit to its equivalent in another unit, here 1 µL = 1e-7 daL.
