Gallon (Uk)
The gallon (UK), also known as the imperial gallon, is a unit of volume used primarily in the United Kingdom, equal to 4.54609 liters.
History/Origin
The UK gallon was established in 1824 as part of the imperial system, replacing earlier gallons used in England. It was standardized with the adoption of the imperial system, based on the volume of 10 pounds of water at a specific temperature.

Microliter
A microliter (µL) is a unit of volume equal to one millionth of a liter, or 10^-6 liters.
History/Origin
The microliter was introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate precise measurement in scientific and medical fields, especially with the advent of micro-scale laboratory techniques.
Current Use
Microliters are commonly used in laboratories for measuring small liquid volumes, such as in chemistry, biology, and medical diagnostics, often in conjunction with micropipettes and microfluidic devices.
