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.
Picoliter
A picoliter (pL) is a unit of volume equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a liter.
History/Origin
The picoliter was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to create smaller units for measuring very small volumes, especially in scientific and technological fields, during the late 20th century.
Current Use
Picoliters are commonly used in fields such as biochemistry, molecular biology, and microfluidics to measure tiny liquid volumes, such as in DNA analysis, microarray experiments, and lab-on-a-chip devices.
