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.
About Picoliters
A picoliter (pL) = 10⁻¹² L = one cubic micrometre. Inkjet printers deposit 1-10 pL droplets per dot to achieve >600 DPI. Droplet microfluidics uses pL-sized reaction chambers for digital PCR and single-cell analysis, detecting a single DNA molecule per droplet. High-throughput drug-screening robots dispense compounds in pL volumes into 1,536-well plates. 1 pL = 10⁻¹² L.
