Tris have been useful as buffers in a wide variety of biological systems. It has been used as a starting material for polymers, oxazolones (with carboxylic acids) and oxazolidines (with aldehydes). It does not precipitate calcium salts and is of value in maintaining solubility of manganese salts.…

Tris is an excellent biochemical and biological buffer for all applications where ultra high purity is required.

Tris is relatively non-hygroscopic; however, if needed, Tris Base can be dried at 100°C for up to 4 hours to remove any water. Neither Tris Base or Tris Hydrochloride by themselves provide adequate buffering capacity. Generally the two need to be mixed together to provide a buffer with pH…
