Microliter
A microliter (µL) is a unit of volume equal to one millionth of a liter, or 10^-6 liters.
History/Origin
The microliter was introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate precise measurement in scientific and medical fields, especially with the advent of micro-scale laboratory techniques.
Current Use
Microliters are commonly used in laboratories for measuring small liquid volumes, such as in chemistry, biology, and medical diagnostics, often in conjunction with micropipettes and microfluidic devices.
