Minim (Us)
The minim (US) is a unit of volume measurement primarily used in the United States, equal to one fluid dram or approximately 0.0616115 milliliters.
History/Origin
The minim originated from the apothecary system, where it was used to measure small quantities of liquids, especially in pharmacy and medicine, dating back to the 19th century.
Current Use
Today, the minim is rarely used outside of specific medical or pharmaceutical contexts, with metric units like milliliters being more common for volume measurement.
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.
