Quart (Uk)
The quart (UK) is a unit of volume equal to one-fourth of a imperial gallon, used primarily in the United Kingdom for measuring liquids.
History/Origin
The UK quart has its origins in the imperial system established in 1824, replacing earlier customary units. It was historically used for measuring liquids like milk and beer before metrication.
Current Use
Today, the UK quart is largely obsolete and replaced by metric units, but it may still be encountered in historical contexts or traditional recipes.
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.
