  description: 'A Unit is a specific measure of a physical quantity within Benchling''s tenant-specific

    unit dictionary, used to capture and convert scientific measurements across the platform.

    Each Unit belongs to a `UnitType` (e.g., "Volume" or "Mass") and defines its relationship

    to the UnitType''s base unit through a `conversionFactor`. For example, a milliliter unit

    would have a conversionFactor of 0.001 relative to a liter base unit. Units are

    identified by a human-readable `name` (e.g., "milliliter"), a shorthand `symbol`

    (e.g., "mL"), and may have `aliases` for alternate input symbols. Units within the same

    UnitType are inter-convertible; cross-dimensional conversions are not supported. Units

    appear throughout Benchling wherever measurements are recorded, including inventory

    container quantities (see `Measurement`), result fields, and sample properties.'

      description: 'A Unit is a specific measure of a physical quantity within Benchling''s tenant-specific

        Each Unit belongs to a `UnitType` (e.g., "Volume" or "Mass") and defines its relationship

        to the UnitType''s base unit through a `conversionFactor`. For example, a milliliter unit

        would have a conversionFactor of 0.001 relative to a liter base unit. Units are

        identified by a human-readable `name` (e.g., "milliliter"), a shorthand `symbol`

        (e.g., "mL"), and may have `aliases` for alternate input symbols. Units within the same

        UnitType are inter-convertible; cross-dimensional conversions are not supported. Units

        appear throughout Benchling wherever measurements are recorded, including inventory

        container quantities (see `Measurement`), result fields, and sample properties.'
