Description

General description

Absorbance (1.0 M, H₂O, 260 nm):≤0.1.

Useful in the pH range of 7.0-9.0. Has a pK_a of 8.1 at 25°C.

Widely used as a biological buffer (absorbance: <0.1 at 260 nm, 1.0 M, H₂O). A 1.0 M solution in H₂O has a pH range of 3.5-5.0 and a pK_a of 8.3 at 20°C.

Application

• Effect of Organic Solvents on the Activity, Stability and Secondary Structure of asclepain cI, Using FTIR and Molecular Dynamics Simulations.: This study uses Tris hydrochloride as a buffer to assess the stability and structural changes in the asclepain cI enzyme, providing insights into enzyme applications in industrial and medical biotechnology (Origone et al., 2024).


• Microencapsulation of Omeprazole by Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC 4356 Surface Layer Protein and Evaluation of its Stability in Acidic Condition.: Research demonstrates the use of Tris hydrochloride buffer in stabilizing microencapsulated omeprazole, aimed at enhancing drug delivery in acidic environments (Mobarak Qamsari et al., 2020).

Warning

Toxicity: Standard Handling (A)

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.
