In biotechnology, we really only look at these units…

Converting Metric Units
When converting units, you can use dimensional analysis, or the metric ladder.

Measuring Volume
In the lab, we will typically use two different tools, a graduated cylinder or a pipet.

Measuring Mass
In this lab, we use an analytical balance, which is far more accurate and sensitive than a triple beam balance.
