A gas syringe showing its components separate and together
A gas syringe also known as "glass collecting bottle", is a piece of laboratory glassware used to draw a volume of a gas from a beaker or other closed system, or measure the volume of gas given off in a reaction. It is often used to remove gaseous products from a reaction. A gas syringe is a syringe with a hermetic seal around the top and sides, and moves more freely than a normal syringe.
Note: When using a gas syringe you must not get it wet.
