About these units
Quart (US) (qt (US))
A US quart equals 32 US fluid ounces or 946 milliliters, exactly 1/4 of a US gallon. It is commonly used for milk, juice, motor oil, and household chemicals. The quart's convenient scale makes it ideal for medium-sized liquid quantities—larger than a pint but smaller than a gallon. It remains widely used in American kitchens, automotive maintenance, and everyday shopping. Like other US customary units, the quart persists because consumers and industries have longstanding infrastructures built around it.
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.
