Dekaliter
A dekaliter (daL) is a unit of volume equal to 10 liters.
History/Origin
The dekaliter is part of the metric system, introduced as a decimal multiple of the liter to facilitate larger volume measurements, especially in scientific and industrial contexts.
Current Use
Dekaliter is used in contexts requiring measurement of larger liquid volumes, such as in agriculture, food industry, and scientific research, though it is less common than liters.
Femtoliter
A femtoliter (fL) is a unit of volume equal to 10^-15 liters, used to measure extremely small quantities.
History/Origin
The femtoliter was introduced as part of the SI prefixes for metric units, specifically to quantify very small volumes in scientific research, particularly in biology and chemistry.
Current Use
Femtoliters are commonly used in fields such as cell biology, microfluidics, and nanotechnology to measure tiny volumes like individual cells, droplets, or nanoliter-scale samples.
