What is a picoliter used for?

A picoliter measures extremely small volumes often used in scientific research like microfluidics and cell biology.

What volume does a UK tablespoon represent?

A UK tablespoon is commonly standardized as 15 millilitres in modern practice, used in cooking and food labeling.

Why are picoliter to UK tablespoon values so small?

Because a picoliter is an extremely small volume, its equivalent in tablespoons results in very small decimal numbers.
