What are Dram and Nanoliter

A dram is a unit of mass that originates from the ancient Greek coin drachma. Historically used in the apothecaries' system, one dram is equivalent to 1/16 of an ounce, or approximately 1.77 grams. In today's terms, it's a small unit of mass still used in measuring ingredients in pharmacy and for historical context.

A nanoliter (nl) is a metric unit of volume that is one billionth of a liter. It's commonly used in fields like chemistry and biology for very small-scale measurements. One nanoliter is equal to 10^-9 liters, providing a measure for volumes at the cellular or molecular level, where precision is crucial.
