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.
Hectoliter (hL)
A hectoliter, equal to 100 liters, is widely used in brewery and wine production, grain measurement, and hydrology. Many countries report beer production in hectoliters, and grain yields (such as wheat or barley) are sometimes expressed this way in agricultural economics. In hydrology, rainfall accumulation or reservoir inflows may be quantified in hectoliters when dealing with moderate-scale measurements. The hL bridges industrial-scale volume tracking with metric simplicity, keeping numbers relatively compact and readable.
