Application

Tris Hydrochloride is a commonly used biological buffer which is also referred to as Trizma HCl. Tris as a buffer has very broad usage in biological systems such as diagnostics, downstream purification and cell culture. The pKa of Tris is 7.77 which corresponds closely to a physiological pH of 7.36.

Tris HCl s used in biopharmaceutical buffer formulations (both upstream and downstream), electrophoresis separations and diagnostic reagent formulations. Tris HCl is especially useful in downstream purification processes.

Packaging

Other Notes

The pH values of all buffers are temperature and concentration dependent. For Tris buffers, pH increases about 0.03 unit per °C decrease in temperature, and decreases 0.03-0.05 unit per ten-fold dilution. For precise applications, use a carefully calibrated pH meter with a glass/calomel combination electrode.
