About these units
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.
Cor (Biblical) (cor)
The cor, also called a homer, is a large ancient Hebrew volume unit often estimated at 220–230 liters. It was used primarily for dry goods like grain but sometimes also referenced for liquids such as oil. Because the cor was large, it played a central role in agricultural recordkeeping, taxation, and royal provisioning. References in the Hebrew Bible describe tribute, temple offerings, and agricultural yields in cors, indicating its prominence in early economic systems. The cor's size reveals the scale of ancient farming operations, where grain harvests needed units big enough to represent substantial quantities.
