microlitres

Millionths of liters

Microlitres is the British spelling of microliters—units of volume equal to one millionth of a litre.

The measurement appears in medical and scientific contexts where tiny liquid quantities matter: blood samples, drug dosages, laboratory reagents.

A microlitre is roughly the size of a small droplet.

Abbreviated μL or µl.
