Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a nanoliter used for?
-
A nanoliter measures very small liquid amounts, often used in microfluidics, molecular biology assays, and droplet-based manufacturing.
-
How does 1 cc relate to milliliters?
-
One cubic centimeter (cc) is exactly equal to one milliliter, making them interchangeable in volume measurements.
-
Why convert nanoliters to cc units?
-
Converting to cc helps translate tiny volume measures into conventional units used in medical dosing, engine displacement, and labs for easier handling.
Key Terminology
-
Nanoliter (nL)
-
A unit of volume representing one billionth of a liter, used for measuring extremely small liquid quantities.
-
Cubic Centimeter (cc or cm^3)
-
A unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube with one-centimeter sides, exactly equivalent to one milliliter.
-
Microfluidics
-
A technology involving precise manipulation of very small fluid volumes, often at the nanoliter scale.
