About Teaspoon (US) (tsp (US))
Definition
The US teaspoon is a unit of culinary volume equal to 1/3 of a US tablespoon, or approximately 4.929 milliliters.
Mathematical Relationship
1 US tsp = 1/3 US tbsp = 1/6 US fl oz = 1/48 US cup ≈ 4.929 mL.
Conversion Formula
To mL: multiply by 4.929. To UK teaspoons: multiply by 0.832674. To tablespoons (US): divide by 3.
Practical Applications
Cooking and baking recipes, measuring medicine doses, adding spices, sugar or salt, and child medication dosing.
Interesting Facts
The US teaspoon is slightly smaller than the metric teaspoon (5 mL). The phrase 'a teaspoon of sugar' equals about 4 grams.
Common Mistakes
Using a regular eating spoon instead of a measuring teaspoon — actual teaspoons vary widely. Always use a calibrated spoon.
Educational Tips
3 tsp = 1 tbsp. 48 tsp = 1 cup. For mL conversion, remember 1 tsp ≈ 5 mL (the metric teaspoon is exactly 5 mL).
About Picoliter (pL)
Definition
The picoliter is a unit of volume equal to 10⁻¹² liters, or one trillionth of a liter.
Mathematical Relationship
1 pL = 10⁻¹² L = 10⁻⁹ mL = 1,000 fL = 10⁻⁶ µL. One nanoliter = 1,000 pL.
Conversion Formula
To liters: multiply by 10⁻¹². To nanoliters: divide by 1,000. To femtoliters: multiply by 1,000.
Practical Applications
Inkjet printer droplet volumes (1–80 pL), PCR reaction miniaturization, and micro-array spotting.
Interesting Facts
A standard inkjet printer deposits droplets of 1–10 pL. Some advanced printers use 1.5 pL droplets for high-resolution photos.
Common Mistakes
Confusing pL with µL (microliter) — there are one million pL in a single µL.
Educational Tips
Picoliter is the realm of inkjet drops and micro-fluidic reactions. 1 pL = a cube about 10 µm on a side — cell-sized.
