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.
Gill (Us)
A gill (US) is a unit of volume measurement equal to one-quarter of a US pint, or 4 US fluid ounces.
History/Origin
The gill originated from the Old French 'gelle' and was historically used in the UK and US for measuring liquids, especially in brewing and cooking. Its usage has declined with the standardization of metric units.
