Burettes are laboratory equipment used to measure the volume of liquids. Synonyms for burettes include pipettes, graduated cylinders, volumetric flasks, syringes, and micropipettes. Pipettes are similar to burettes but have a smaller volume capacity, while graduated cylinders and volumetric flasks are used for measuring precise volumes of liquid. Syringes function as miniature burettes used for injecting liquids or gases, while micropipettes are used for measuring very small volumes of liquid. Whatever the task may be, there are several synonyms for burettes that scientists and researchers can use to accurately measure liquids in the laboratory.
