About Nanoliters
A nanoliter (nL) = 10⁻⁹ L. High-throughput drug screening platforms dispense 1-100 nL per well across 384- or 1,536-well plates. Acoustic liquid handlers (Echo) transfer nL volumes with <10% error CV. A human red blood cell ≈0.09 nL; a typical mammalian cell 1-4 nL. Capillary electrophoresis separates proteins in nL sample plugs. 1 nL = 10⁻⁹ L.
About Pipes
A pipe (also called a butt) = 2 hogsheads = 126 US gallons ≈ 477 L. The traditional ageing vessel for Port and Madeira: Port lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia store hundreds of thousands of pipes of Tawny, Ruby, and Vintage Port. Sherry butts (identical vessel) hold ~600 L. Craft American distilleries use pipes for extended whiskey maturation. 1 pipe = 126 US gal ≈ 477 L.
