A pipette bulb is the rounded part of a pipette which you squeeze the air out of, then release to draw liquid into the pipette.

If you are using a calibrated glass pipette, it will be a separate piece made of rubber which is fitted to the pipette.

If it is a simple plastic pipette then the bulb will be made of the same semi-transparent plastic, and the pipette will all be one piece.

The function of a pipette bulb is to suck liquid from another apparatus into the pipette. It can be used to remove a liquid from the top of a substance or to put a few drops of a chemical into a beaker.

It is a piece of glassware used in titration to accurately measure a certain volume of liquid (e.g. 25cm3 ). It's a long tube with a bulb in the middle and at the top has a mark to show when the e.g. 25cm3 volume is reached. It is attached to what is called a "pipette filler" which allows the liquid to be sucked into the bulb pipette.

A pipette safety bulb is a bulb that goes on the end of a pipette, so that it is able to be filled and emptied easily. It also keeps it from being broken.
