Microliters - A Unit of Volume

Definition of the Microliter

A microliter (symbol μl or μL) is a unit of volume that corresponds to one millionth of a liter (0.000001 liter) or one cubic millimeter (0.001 milliliter). It is a unit of volume in the metric system, which is based on the meter as the base unit of length.

One microliter is equal to 0.000000001 cubic meters, 0.00006102374 cubic inches, or 0.000000264172 gallons.

History of the Microliter

The microliter is derived from the liter, which is a unit of volume that was introduced in France in 1795 as part of the metric system. The liter was defined as one cubic decimeter (0.1 meter) in length, width, and height. The liter was later redefined as the volume of one kilogram of pure water at its maximum density and standard atmospheric pressure. The current definition of the liter, adopted in 1964, is based on the cubic meter, which is defined as the volume of a cube with sides of one meter in length.

The microliter was first used as a unit of volume for measuring very small amounts of liquids and gases, such as medicine, perfume, ink, and blood. The microliter was also used for measuring some solids, such as sugar, salt, and flour. The microliter was adopted as a standard unit of measure in many countries that use the metric system, such as France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Sweden.

How to Convert Microliters

- Example: 0.00012204748 in3 ÷ 0.00006102374 = 2 μl
To convert milliliters or liters to microliters, divide by 0.001 or multiply by 1000000 respectively.
- Example: 0.002 mL ÷ 0.001 = 2 μl or 0.000002 L × 1000000 = 2 μl
To convert gallons (US liquid) to microliters, divide by 0.000000264172.
- Example: 0.000000528344 gal ÷ 0.000000264172 = 2 μl
To convert bushels (US) to microliters, divide by 0.00000002837825.

Liters - A Unit of Volume

Definition of the Liter

A liter (international spelling) or liter (American English spelling) (SI symbols L and l) is a unit of volume that is used in the metric system. It is defined as the volume of a cube with sides of 10 centimeters (0.1 meter) in length.

One liter is equal to 1000 cubic centimeters, 0.001 cubic meters, or 1 cubic decimeter.

History of the Liter

The liter is derived from the litron, which was an old French unit of volume that was based on the Greek unit of weight called the litra. The litron was equal to about 0.831 liters. The word liter was first used in 1795 by the French chemist Antoine Lavoisier as a unit of volume for liquids and gases. The liter was originally defined as the volume of one kilogram of pure water at 4 °C and standard atmospheric pressure.

The liter was later redefined several times based on different physical standards, such as a platinum-iridium cylinder and a wavelength of light. The current definition of the liter, adopted in 1964, is based on the cubic meter, which is the SI unit of volume. The liter is not an SI unit, but it is accepted by the CGPM (the standards body that defines the SI) for use with the SI.
