Drop
A drop is a small unit of liquid volume typically used to measure small quantities of liquids, such as medicines or ingredients in cooking.
History/Origin
The concept of a drop as a unit has been used informally for centuries, often based on the amount of liquid dispensed from a dropper or similar device. Its exact volume has varied historically and culturally, but it is generally standardized in modern measurements.
Current Use
The drop is commonly used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and cooking to measure small amounts of liquids, with a standard volume approximately equal to 0.05 milliliters.
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.
