Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a quart (US)?
-
A quart (US) is a customary volume unit equal to one quarter of a US liquid gallon, or exactly 0.946352946 liters, primarily used for liquid measurements like milk and engine oil.
-
What is a picoliter?
-
A picoliter is a metric unit of volume equal to 10⁻¹² liters, used to measure extremely small volumes in scientific and engineering fields such as microfluidics and biology.
-
Why convert from quart (US) to picoliter?
-
This conversion helps translate everyday liquid volumes into very small scales needed for scientific research, like studying microfluidic droplets or cell volumes.
