About these units
Nanoliter (nL)
A nanoliter equals 10⁻⁹ liters and is commonly used in molecular biology, PCR (polymerase chain reaction), and analytical chemistry. Reaction volumes in high-throughput screening and micro-assays are frequently in nanoliters to conserve expensive reagents. In environmental science, trace samples of pollutants or micro-droplets in aerosols may be measured in nanoliters. Nanoliter volumes also arise in precision drug delivery systems and biomedical implants. The nanoliter represents a critical compromise between practical handling and microscopic precision, making it a cornerstone of modern microfluidic research.
Cup (Metric) (cup)
A metric cup is defined as 250 mL, differing from both the US cup (236.588 mL) and the UK cup (284 mL). Used extensively in Australia, New Zealand, Canada (informally), and some European cooking contexts, the metric cup provides a clean, simple unit that aligns perfectly with decimal scaling. Its adoption reduces confusion in international recipe exchange and demonstrates the value of standardization for global culinary communication.
