About Microliters
A microliter (μL) = 10⁻⁶ L = 1 mm³. Standard unit for tiny liquid volumes in laboratory science and medicine. PCR, DNA extraction, and ELISA assays are routinely measured in μL. Insulin syringes: 100-1,000 μL; laboratory micropipettes: 0.5-1,000 μL. 1 μL = 10⁻⁶ L = 1 mm³.
About Cups
A cup = 8 fl oz = 16 tbsp ≈ 236.6 mL - the fundamental unit of American cooking. Almost every US recipe uses cups for dry and liquid ingredients. The US customary cup (236.588 mL) differs from the US legal cup (240 mL, used in nutrition labelling) and the metric cup (Australia/Canada: 250 mL). Kitchen sets come in 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, and 1 cup sizes. 2 cups = 1 US pint.
