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 Tuns
A tun = 4 hogsheads = 252 US gallons ≈ 953.9 L - the largest traditional wine cask and origin of the English word 'ton': a full tun of wine weighed ~1 long ton. English shipping law rated cargo capacity in 'tuns burden'. Scottish distilleries use 'tun rooms' for large vatting/blending vats. 1 tun = 252 US gal = 2 pipes = 4 hogsheads ≈ 953.9 L.
