Dekastere
A dekastere (das) is a unit of volume equal to ten liters, primarily used in certain European measurement systems.
History/Origin
The dekastere originated in traditional European measurement systems and was used historically for measuring larger quantities of liquids, especially in trade and agriculture. Its usage has declined with the adoption of the metric system.
Current Use
Today, the dekastere is rarely used and has been largely replaced by standard metric units such as liters. It may still be encountered in historical contexts or specific regional applications.
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.
