Is the UK cup a standardized measurement?

No, the UK cup is an informal culinary measure without official standardization, and its exact volume can vary by source.

Why convert from cup (UK) to microliter?

Converting to microliters allows precise measurement of very small liquid volumes, useful in labs and pharmaceutical contexts where accuracy is crucial.

Can this conversion be used for precise laboratory measurements?

While the tool aids rough conversion, cup (UK) values are approximate, so caution is advised when using results for high-precision lab tasks.
