Minim (Us)
The minim (US) is a unit of volume measurement primarily used in the United States, equal to one fluid dram or approximately 0.0616115 milliliters.
History/Origin
The minim originated from the apothecary system, where it was used to measure small quantities of liquids, especially in pharmacy and medicine, dating back to the 19th century.
Current Use
Today, the minim is rarely used outside of specific medical or pharmaceutical contexts, with metric units like milliliters being more common for volume measurement.
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.
