About Converting Nanoliters to Fluid ounces
Nanoliter and Fluid ounce appear side by side at fuel pumps and on beverage labels, since the US measures liquids in gallons while most of the world uses liters. Specifically: Nanoliter is 1e-9 liter units, and a US fluid ounce is 1/128 of a US gallon.
Formula
fluid ounces = nanoliters × 3.381402e-8
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 nanoliter equals 1e-12 base units, and 1 fluid ounce equals 0.0000295735295625 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct nanoliter-to-fluid ounce factor of 3.381402e-8.
Simple example
1 nL × 3.381402e-8 = 3.381402e-8 fl oz
1 nanoliter = 3.381402e-8 fluid ounces.
Real-world example
10 nL × 3.381402e-8 = 3.381402e-7 fl oz
10 nanoliters = 3.381402e-7 fluid ounces.
