A picoliter (pL) is a metric volume unit equal to 10⁻¹² liters, typically used to measure extremely small liquid volumes in scientific fields like microfluidics and molecular biology.

What does one centiliter represent?

One centiliter (cL) is a metric volume unit equal to 0.01 liters, often used in culinary recipes, beverage portions, and clinical volume reporting.

When should I use this converter?

Use this converter to translate very small volumes from picoliters into more practical centiliter values, especially in biotechnology labs, culinary measurements, and clinical settings where approximate volume reporting suffices.
