A picoliter is a unit of volume equal to 10⁻¹² liters, used to measure extremely small liquid volumes.

How does a cubic centimeter relate to a milliliter?

One cubic centimeter (cc or cm³) is exactly equal to one milliliter (mL).

Why convert picoliters to cubic centimeters?

Converting picoliters to cubic centimeters helps interpret tiny liquid volumes in more practical units for clinical, laboratory, or engineering use.

What Is This Tool?

This tool allows you to convert volume measurements from picoliters (pL), which represent extremely small liquid volumes, to cubic centimeters (cc or cm³), a more commonly used volume unit equivalent to milliliters. It supports applications ranging from microfluidics to medical dosing.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the volume value in picoliters you want to convert.
Select the target unit as cubic centimeters (cc or cm³).
Click the convert button to see the corresponding volume in cc.

Key Features

Converts volume units between picoliters and cubic centimeters accurately.
Easy-to-use input and selection of converted units.
Ideal for scientific, medical, and engineering volume conversions.

Examples

Convert 500 pL: 500 × 1e-9 = 5e-7 cc
Convert 1,000,000 pL: 1,000,000 × 1e-9 = 0.001 cc

Common Use Cases

Measuring droplet volumes in microfluidic and droplet-based assays.
Estimating single cell or subcellular compartment volumes.
Converting injection volumes for medical syringes.
Specifying droplet sizes for inkjet printing and microdispensing.
Lab reagent volume measurements where cc and mL are interchangeable.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure careful measurement due to the very small scale of picoliters.
Be aware of possible rounding errors when converting to larger cc values.
Use this conversion for better understanding in clinical, laboratory, and engineering settings.

Limitations

Measurement precision and instrument sensitivity may limit accuracy for very small volumes.
Conversions may require careful handling to avoid rounding errors due to scale differences.
