Minim (Uk)
A minim is a traditional unit of volume used in the UK, equivalent to one-eighth of a fluid dram or approximately 0.0616 milliliters.
History/Origin
The minim originated in the apothecaries' system of measurement, dating back to the 19th century, primarily used for measuring small quantities of liquids in pharmacy and medicine.
Current Use
Today, the minim is largely obsolete and rarely used outside historical or specialized contexts; modern measurements favor metric units, but it may still appear in historical references or vintage recipes.
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.
