About these units
Gill (US) (gi)
The US gill equals 118.294 mL, representing one-quarter of a US pint. Historically used in measuring alcoholic beverages, the gill once played a significant role in tavern regulations, distilling, and bartending. Its usage declined sharply after Prohibition and continued to fade as ounces and milliliters became preferred for drink recipes and consumer packaging. However, some old cocktail manuals still specify gills, and certain traditional American spirits were originally bottled in gill-based volumes. The gill illustrates the rich historical diversity of volumetric units in American culinary and beverage culture.
Microliter (µL)
A microliter is 10⁻⁶ liters, a standard unit in laboratories worldwide. It is indispensable in pipetting, sample preparation, PCR reactions, enzyme tests, and pharmaceutical formulation. Most laboratory pipettes are designed with microliter precision, and many experiments rely heavily on the ability to dose volumes like 10 µL or 100 µL with high accuracy. Its use outside laboratories includes medical diagnostics, such as blood sampling, allergy testing, and microdose vaccine research. The microliter is an essential unit linking biological processes to controlled experimental conditions.
