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.
Pint (US) (pt (US))
A US pint equals 16 US fluid ounces, or about 473 milliliters. It is used extensively for beverages, dairy products, and food portions. Although derived from British systems, the US pint differs significantly from the UK pint, a discrepancy that often surprises international travelers. The US pint's prevalence in beer, ice cream, and milk packaging ties it closely to American food culture. In cooking and bartending, the pint provides a practical intermediate size, bridging the gap between cups and quarts. Its continued use reflects how cultural and culinary habits shape measurement preferences.
