Tricine is used as buffer component for separation of low molecular weight peptides. Tricine can be used in cryopreservation medium for the preservation of tissues and organs. Tricine is typically the buffer of choice in SDS-PAGE systems when separating proteins in the range of 1 to 100 kDa.

Tricine, a zwitterionic buffer, was first prepared by Good for use as a buffer for chloroplast reactions. It is structurally similar to Tris, but is much less inhibitory at high concentrations. The name tricine comes from tris and glycine from which it was derived. Tricine can be used in…

Tricine was first prepared by Good for use as a buffer for chloroplast reactions. It is structurally similar to Tris, but is much less inhibitory at high concentrations. For ATP assays using firefly luciferase, tricine buffer at 25 mM was found to be the best of ten common buffers tested. …
