German term or phrase: Probepüretten

Can't find the meaning of Püretten anywhere.
Context:
Abnehmbare Probepüretten (10 Stück), Extraktionszylinder mit Ölablass und Magnetrührer

Might it be a pipette?

Many thanks for any clues

Test pipette

Explanation:
I've a sneaking suspicion you could be right, but...it all depends.

They are both (as you know) used in labs, pipettes and burettes, but whereas burettes are graduated, pipettes are not (AFAIR). Therefore it will probably come down to asking the customer.

I don't think you can really rely on google with this one; it gives no hits for "Probebürette(n)", and only three for "Probepipette", so that's not exactly convincing, is it? Mind you, it does give three more for "Probepipette*N*" as well...
