A pipette bulb allow a liquid to be sucked up into the pipette, so avoiding having to use your mouth to suck the liquid up. Apart from avoiding often toxic liquids getting into your mouth, it also avoids contamination of the liquid.

What is a pipette safety bulb?
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.
Difference between rbc and wbc pipette?
RBC pipette has graduations up to mark 101 while WBC has graduations up to mark 11. The size of the bulb of RBC pipette is larger than the bulb of WBC Size of the lumen(the hollow structure)in RBC is smaller than that of the WBC pipette
How do you transfer cultured cells from one plate to 6 well plate?
Use a pipette.
What is the function of pipette?
The pipette is used to draw up fluids, some like using a straw.
What is a dropper pipet used for?
There are many types of pipettes (or pipet), but most are essentially a fancier version of a medicine dropper or eye dropper. They are used in a laboratory to transport and/or measure a specific volume of liquid.Volumetric pipettes allow the user to measure a volume of solution extremely accurately and then add it so something else. They are commonly used to make laboratory solutions from a base stock as well as prepare solutions for titration. They typically only allow you measure one single volume in a particular size pipette (just like with volumetric flasks). Therefore, they come in many different sizes.There are other types of pipettes also, such as a Pasteur pipette, which is not used to measure the volume of the liquid. It is essentially a large dropper, which can be used to remove liquid from one container and add it to another.There are also graduated pipettes, also called a Mohr pipette, which also allow you to measure the volume of the liquid in the pipette, although not as accurately as a volumetric pipette. These use a series of marked lines (as on a graduate cylinder) to indicate the different volumes. These also come in a variety of sizes. These are used much like a burette, in that the volume is found by calculating the difference of the liquid level before and after.All glass pipettes require the use of some kind of additional suction device, typically a pipette bulb (not the Eppendorf pipette or other similar ones, which have a built-in suction mechanism), which is a rubber bulb which sucks the liquid into the pipette and also allows you to drain the pipette in a controlled fashion. A Beral pipette is a one-piece pipette, usually made from flexible soft plastic (polyethylene) that has a built-in bulb on the end.See the Related Questions and Web Links to the left for pictures and more information on pipets and other laboratory equipment.*A piece of laboratory glassware, shaped like a thin tube with a bulge in the middle, that allows better accuracy when measuring certain volumes (hence the range of sizes) e.g. when making solutions or samples for titrations.Function of a pipette: to deliver small and exact volumes of liquids; extremely useful in chemical laboratories.
What is a rubber pipette bulb use for?

What is a Mohr Pipette used for in chemistry?
A Mohr pipette is a type of pipette that measures the volume of dispensed liquids. It is less accurate compared to a volumetric pipette.

What do you call the squeezy thing at the end of a pipette?
The bulb
What is pipette made up of?
A pipette is either a glass or plastic narrow tube with a rubber bulb on one end. The idea is to put the open end into a liquid, after depressing the bulb. On releasing the bulb, a suction is formed and liquid is drawn up the tube. The pipette can then carry the liquid to another receptacle. On squeezing the bulb, the liquid is deposited into the new receptacle.
What is plastic tube for drawing off serum in chemistry lab after centrifuging?
a pipette
Why should a bulb be used on a pipette rather then your mouth when you are measuring a liquid?
I donno
