About these units
Picoliter (pL)
A picoliter is 10⁻¹² liters, bridging the gap between femtoliters and nanoliters. Many biological cells—such as yeast—have volumes in the picoliter range. This makes the unit particularly important in cell biology, single-cell genomics, and droplet microfluidics. Inkjet printers famously eject droplets on the order of a few picoliters, illustrating a precise and widespread technological use. This droplet size affects print resolution, color quality, and material deposition accuracy. The picoliter is also used in chemical analysis, micro-sampling, and lab-on-chip devices, where controlling tiny fluid quantities is essential for efficiency and precision.
Cab (Biblical) (cab)
A cab is a small Biblical volume measure estimated at roughly 1 liter or slightly less. It was used for grains, spices, legumes, and other dry goods. The cab appears in scriptural narratives to represent modest quantities suitable for household use or famine conditions, making it a culturally meaningful indicator of scarcity or modest provision. Its place in the Hebrew hierarchy—1 cab = 1/6 of a seah (another unit not in your list)—shows how everyday domestic needs shaped measurement scales.
