About these units
Minim (US) (minim)
The US minim is defined as 1/60 of a US fluid dram, approximately 0.0616 mL. Similar to the UK minim, it originated in apothecary practice as a standardized alternative to the inconsistent "drop." Minims were used heavily in 18th–19th century American medicine for dosing tinctures, opiates, essential oils, and concentrated extracts. Although it has disappeared from modern pharmaceutical practice, the minim remains relevant for studying early American medical traditions and the evolution of clinical measurement.
Picoliter (pL)
A picoliter is 10⁻¹² liters, bridging the gap between femtoliters and nanoliters. Many biological cells—such as yeast—have volumes in the picoliter range. This makes the unit particularly important in cell biology, single-cell genomics, and droplet microfluidics. Inkjet printers famously eject droplets on the order of a few picoliters, illustrating a precise and widespread technological use. This droplet size affects print resolution, color quality, and material deposition accuracy. The picoliter is also used in chemical analysis, micro-sampling, and lab-on-chip devices, where controlling tiny fluid quantities is essential for efficiency and precision.
