(These are for Class A pipettes; Class B pipettes are given a tolerance of twice that for the corresponding Class A.) A specialized example of a volumetric pipette is the microfluid pipette (capable of dispensing as little as 10 μL) designed with a circulating liquid tip that generates a self-confining volume in front of its outlet channels.

Rubber bulbs are used in chemistry laboratories, by placing them on top of a glass or plastic tube. It serves as a vacuum source for filling reagents through a pipette or pasteur pipette and also help control the flow of liquid from the dropping bottle. [1] By using rubber bulb, the contact of the mouth to the chemicals can be avoided.
Volumetric pipettes or bulb pipette allow the user to measure a volume of solution extremely precisely (precision of four significant figures). These pipettes have a large bulb with a long narrow portion above with a single graduation mark as it is calibrated for a single volume (like a volumetric flask). Typical volumes are 20, 50, and 100 mL.
To use the dropper, the bulb is squeezed to expel air out of the pipette and the tip of the pipette is submerged into the solution vertically. The bulb is slowly released to draw the solution up, making sure that the solution does not overshoot into the bulb or else it may get contaminated.
Less commonly, some TD pipettes are made "to contain" as per manufacturer and made to be blown out. [10] [11] A set of two rings printed on the upper end of the pipette indicate that it is a "blow out" type and should be blown using a rubber bulb. Do not blow the solution out if the pipette has no rings on the upper end. [3]

Glass pipettes are used to transfer precise quantities of fluids. Glass Ebulliometers are used to accurately measure the boiling point of liquids. [18] Other examples of glassware includes: Stirring rods are glass rods used to mix chemicals. Condensers are used to condense vapors by cooling them down and turning them into liquids. [19]
