How it's calculated
µL = mL × 1000
mL = millilitres, µL = microlitres. 1 mL = 1000 µL; reverse with mL = µL ÷ 1000.
Common values
| Milliliters | Microliters |
|---|---|
| 0.5 mL | 500 µL |
| 1 mL | 1000 µL |
| 5 mL | 5000 µL |
| 10 mL | 10000 µL |
Common questions
How many microliters are in a milliliter?
Exactly 1000. The microliter is one thousandth of a milliliter.
Is a microliter the same as a cubic millimeter?
Yes. 1 µL equals 1 mm³, which is why both turn up in lab work.
