How to Convert Fluid Ounce (UK) to Femtoliter
To mL: multiply by 28.4131. To US fl oz: multiply by 0.96076. To UK pints: divide by 20.
1 UK fl oz = 1/20 UK pt = 1/160 UK gal ≈ 28.4131 mL. It is about 4% smaller than a US fluid ounce.
For example, 1 Fluid Ounce (UK) (fl oz (UK)) = 2.841306e+13 Femtoliter (fL).

About Fluid Ounce (UK) (fl oz (UK))
Definition
The UK fluid ounce is a unit of liquid volume equal to 1/160 of an imperial gallon, or approximately 28.413 milliliters.
Mathematical Relationship
1 UK fl oz = 1/20 UK pt = 1/160 UK gal ≈ 28.4131 mL. It is about 4% smaller than a US fluid ounce.
Conversion Formula
To mL: multiply by 28.4131. To US fl oz: multiply by 0.96076. To UK pints: divide by 20.
Practical Applications
Older UK recipes, some beverage labels in Commonwealth countries, and traditional pharmaceutical dosing.
Interesting Facts
Paradoxically, the UK fluid ounce is smaller than the US fluid ounce (28.41 vs. 29.57 mL), even though UK pints and gallons are larger.
Common Mistakes
Assuming UK and US fluid ounces are the same — they differ by about 4%. This seems small but accumulates in recipes.
Educational Tips
UK fl oz ≈ 28.4 mL, US fl oz ≈ 29.6 mL. The UK has more fl oz per pint (20) vs. US (16), but each UK fl oz is smaller.
About Femtoliter (fL)
Definition
The femtoliter is a unit of volume equal to 10⁻¹⁵ liters, or one quadrillionth of a liter.
Mathematical Relationship
1 fL = 10⁻¹⁵ L = 10⁻¹² mL = 1,000 aL = 1 µm³ (cubic micrometer).
Conversion Formula
To liters: multiply by 10⁻¹⁵. To picoliters: divide by 1,000. To attoliters: multiply by 1,000.
Practical Applications
Measuring red blood cell volumes (normal MCV: 80–100 fL), inkjet droplet sizes, and flow cytometry particle analysis.
Interesting Facts
A human red blood cell has a volume of about 90 fL. The smallest inkjet droplets are in the range of 1–5 fL.
Common Mistakes
Assuming fL is too small to be practical — it is actually the standard unit used on every complete blood count (CBC) lab report.
Educational Tips
Remember: fL = femtoliter, the volume of blood cells. Normal MCV range: 80–100 fL. It's a key clinical measurement.
