About these units
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.
Cubic Centimeter (cm³)
A cubic centimeter equals 1 mL, representing the volume of a cube 1 cm per side. This dual identity makes it fundamental in medicine, laboratory science, and engineering. In medicine, cm³ is used when describing organ sizes, tumor volumes, or syringe capacities. In mechanics, engine displacements (e.g., "1500 cc") use cubic centimeters instead of liters, even though 1000 cm³ = 1 liter. The cm³ bridges small-scale measurements with scientific precision, making it indispensable across biology, chemistry, and automotive engineering.
