What is a femtoliter used to measure?

A femtoliter measures extremely small liquid volumes, often used in cell biology, microfluidics, and nanoscale chemical contexts.

Why convert femtoliters to UK gallons?

Converting femtoliters to UK gallons helps relate very small experimental volumes to larger, conventional liquid volumes used in engineering and regulatory settings.

Is the gallon (UK) the same as the US gallon?

No, the UK gallon is defined as exactly 4.54609 liters, which differs from the US gallon volume.
