Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one cubic foot represent?
-
One cubic foot is the volume of a cube with sides one foot long, used especially in US customary and imperial systems.
-
What is a nanoliter and where is it used?
-
A nanoliter is one billionth of a liter, typically used in microfluidics and molecular biology to measure very small volumes.
-
Why is this conversion important?
-
It allows volumes measured on a large industrial scale to be translated into the very fine scales needed for precise laboratory applications.
