Picoliter
A picoliter (pL) is a unit of volume equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a liter.
History/Origin
The picoliter was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to create smaller units for measuring very small volumes, especially in scientific and technological fields, during the late 20th century.
Current Use
Picoliters are commonly used in fields such as biochemistry, molecular biology, and microfluidics to measure tiny liquid volumes, such as in DNA analysis, microarray experiments, and lab-on-a-chip devices.
Kiloliter
A kiloliter (kL) is a unit of volume equal to 1,000 liters.
History/Origin
The kiloliter originated from the metric system as a larger unit for measuring volume, primarily used in scientific and industrial contexts since the adoption of the metric system in the 19th century.
Current Use
Kiloliters are used today in fields such as water management, agriculture, and industry to measure large quantities of liquids efficiently.
