Units explained
Nanoliter
A nanoliter is 10⁻⁹ liter (10⁻¹² m³).
Formed with the SI prefix nano- applied to the liter.
Used in microfluidics, inkjet printing and single-cell assays.
Metric prefix system.
US Gallon
The US liquid gallon is defined as exactly 231 cubic inches (3.785411784 liters).
Based on the English wine gallon of 231 cubic inches, retained by the US after 1824.
The primary US unit for fuel, milk and large beverage containers.
English wine gallon; US since 1824.
