I thought it was soldering iron.

It's a micropipette.

They do look like all the fun to play with. I mean, it's the mixing of a pipette and a retractable pen, it can not be non-fun. But some people go way overboard and start to claim it's a life-saving object that made handling fluids safe, completely ignoring the pipette vacuum-pumps people have been using for God knows how long. (Has it been a century already? I have no idea what was their first iteration.)
