burettes
Graduated glass tubes
Burettes are graduated glass tubes with a valve or stopcock at the bottom, used in chemistry to dispense precise volumes of liquid.
The singular is burette (or buret in American English).
They're essential for titration, where exact measurement matters: She filled the burette with sodium hydroxide solution.
