About these units
Femtoliter (fL)
A femtoliter represents 10⁻¹⁵ liters and is commonly used in hematology, particularly in describing red blood cell size. A typical red blood cell has a volume of roughly 80–100 fL, making this unit ideal for medical diagnostics. Beyond medicine, femtoliters are used in microfluidics and nanoparticle research, where reaction chambers or droplets often hold only a few dozen femtoliters of liquid. The femtoliter exemplifies how modern science pushes measurement into realms dominated by statistical motion, molecular interactions, and quantum effects—scales that once seemed impossible to quantify.
Fluid Ounce (US) (fl oz (US))
A US fluid ounce is approximately 29.5735 milliliters. It is not a unit of weight, despite sometimes being confused with the avoirdupois ounce. In beverage serving sizes, cooking, and pharmaceuticals, the fluid ounce provides a flexible unit for small to medium volumes. It serves as the basis for bartending measurements, packaging labels, and nutritional information. Its precise value derives from the US gallon, making the fluid ounce a key link in the US customary volume system.
