Converting from Drop, Metric (gtt) to Cubic Micrometer (µm³)

What is Drop, Metric (gtt)

A metric drop (gtt) is a small unit of volume, commonly used in the context of liquids. It is often referenced in medical dosing or laboratory measurements. In scientific terms, 1 drop (gtt) is equivalent to 50 microliters, but its exact volume can vary based on the liquid’s properties and the dropper used.

What is Cubic Micrometer (µm³)

The cubic micrometer (µm³) is a unit of volume in the metric system, representing a cube that measures 1 micrometer on each side. It is used primarily in scientific fields, particularly in molecular biology and nanotechnology, to quantify very small volumes.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from drops (gtt) to cubic micrometers (µm³), the following formula is used:

Conversely, to convert from cubic micrometers (µm³) to drops (gtt), use:

Examples

1. Converting 1 Drop to Cubic Micrometers:

   • Using the formula:
     Volume in μm3=1gtt×5∗1010=5∗1010μm3

2. Converting 16 Drops to Cubic Micrometers:

   • Calculate using the formula:
     Volume in μm3=16gtt×5∗1010=8∗1011μm3

3. Converting 6 Drops to Cubic Micrometers:

   • Using the formula:
     Volume in μm3=6gtt×5∗1010=3∗1011μm3

4. Converting 800000000000 Cubic Micrometers to Drops:

   • Using the formula:
     Volume in gtt=800000000000μm3×5∗10−11=16gtt

5. Converting 15 Cubic Micrometers to Drops:

   • Calculate using the formula:
     Volume in gtt=15μm3×5∗10−11=3∗10−10gtt

For precise measurement needs, use these formulas to easily convert between these two units of volume.
