Microliter
A microliter (µL) is a unit of volume equal to one millionth of a liter, or 10^-6 liters.
History/Origin
The microliter was introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate precise measurement in scientific and medical fields, especially with the advent of micro-scale laboratory techniques.
Current Use
Microliters are commonly used in laboratories for measuring small liquid volumes, such as in chemistry, biology, and medical diagnostics, often in conjunction with micropipettes and microfluidic devices.
Femtoliter
A femtoliter (fL) is a unit of volume equal to 10^-15 liters, used to measure extremely small quantities.
History/Origin
The femtoliter was introduced as part of the SI prefixes for metric units, specifically to quantify very small volumes in scientific research, particularly in biology and chemistry.
Current Use
Femtoliters are commonly used in fields such as cell biology, microfluidics, and nanotechnology to measure tiny volumes like individual cells, droplets, or nanoliter-scale samples.
