microlitros

Microlitros, a term used in some Spanish- and Portuguese-language contexts, denotes the unit microliter, a measure of volume equal to one millionth of a liter. In English, the standard form is microliter (plural microliters). The symbol is μL.

One microliter equals 10^-6 liters and 0.001 milliliters. It is a common unit in chemistry, biology, and

Typical applications include preparing reagents, conducting DNA and RNA assays, enzyme kinetics, and sample aliquoting. In

Conversely, microliters must be interpreted carefully because surface tension, viscosity, and temperature can affect the accuracy

Related units include nanoliter, milliliter, and liter.
