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.
Dekaliter
A dekaliter (daL) is a unit of volume equal to 10 liters.
History/Origin
The dekaliter is part of the metric system, introduced as a decimal multiple of the liter to facilitate larger volume measurements, especially in scientific and industrial contexts.
Current Use
Dekaliter is used in contexts requiring measurement of larger liquid volumes, such as in agriculture, food industry, and scientific research, though it is less common than liters.
