  2. Lambda (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_(unit)

    Lambda (written λ, in lowercase) is a non-SI unit of volume equal to 10 −9 m 3, 1 cubic millimetre (mm 3) or 1 microlitre (μL).Introduced by the BIPM in 1880, [1] the lambda has been used in chemistry [2] and in law for measuring volume, but its use is not recommended.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curb_box

    A curb box (also known as a valve box, buffalo box, b-box, or in British English stopcock chamber) is a vertical cast iron sleeve, accessible from the public way, housing the shut-off valve (curb cock or curb stop) for a property's water service line.

  5. List of metric units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metric_units

    Metric units are units based on the metre, gram or second and decimal (power of ten) multiples or sub-multiples of these. According to Schadow and McDonald, [1] metric units, in general, are those units "defined 'in the spirit' of the metric system, that emerged in late 18th century France and was rapidly adopted by scientists and engineers.

  6. Capillary length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_length

    If the temperature is 20 o then = 2.71mm The capillary length or capillary constant is a length scaling factor that relates gravity and surface tension . It is a fundamental physical property that governs the behavior of menisci, and is found when body forces (gravity) and surface forces ( Laplace pressure ) are in equilibrium.

  7. Air displacement pipette - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_displacement_pipette

    For optimal usage, every pipette supplier offers a broad range of different capacities, commonly including 2, 10, 20, 100, 200, and 1000 μL capacity pipettes. [ citation needed ] A small volume range of a pipette like 10–100 μL results in a much higher accuracy than a broad range from 0.1–1,000 μL per pipette.

  8. Microplate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microplate

    Microtiter plates with 96, 384 and 1536 wells. A microplate, also known as a microtiter plate, microwell plate or multiwell, [1] is a flat plate with multiple "wells" used as small test tubes.

  9. Pipette - Wikipedia
