Today, the UK barrel (bbl UK) is used mainly in the brewing industry and for measuring certain liquids, though the standard barrel is more commonly associated with the US measurement system. It remains a traditional unit within specific contexts like brewing and historical references.
Nanoliter
A nanoliter (nL) is a unit of volume equal to one billionth of a liter (10^-9 liters).
History/Origin
The nanoliter was introduced as part of the metric system's expansion to include smaller units for scientific and industrial measurements, particularly in fields like biology and chemistry, during the 20th century.
Current Use
Nanoliters are commonly used in laboratories for precise measurements of small liquid volumes, such as in microfluidics, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical research.
