The minim (abbreviated min, ♏, or ) is a unit of volume in both the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. Specifically it is 1⁄60 of a fluidram or 1⁄480 of a fluid ounce. In the pharmacopeoia, it is also noted that the minim was originally created by Mr. Timothy Lane, F.R.S, as 61440 parts per wine gallon.
The drop is an approximated unit of measure of volume, the amount dispensed as one drop from a dropper or drip chamber. It is often used in giving quantities of liquid drugs to patients, and occasionally in cooking.
