Deciliter
A deciliter (dL) is a unit of volume equal to one-tenth of a liter, commonly used to measure liquids.
History/Origin
The deciliter was introduced as part of the metric system in the 19th century to provide a convenient subdivision of the liter, facilitating measurements in cooking and scientific contexts.
Current Use
Deciliters are used in various countries for measuring liquids in cooking, nutrition labeling, and scientific experiments, especially where metric units are standard.
Picoliter
A picoliter (pL) is a unit of volume equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a liter.
History/Origin
The picoliter was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to create smaller units for measuring very small volumes, especially in scientific and technological fields, during the late 20th century.
Current Use
Picoliters are commonly used in fields such as biochemistry, molecular biology, and microfluidics to measure tiny liquid volumes, such as in DNA analysis, microarray experiments, and lab-on-a-chip devices.
