Tris buffer, pH 7.0 is a general buffer that is isotonic and non-toxic in nature due to the presence of tris base. It is suitable for most biochemical and molecular biology applications. Tris has a buffering capacity range of pH 7.0 - 9.0, with a pKa of 8.1 at 25°C.
Application
Tris buffer is used in:
Western blot
Protein gel electrophoresis
cell culture (sterile filter buffer)
As a buffer component
Features and Benefits
Fast, ready-to-use buffer
No need to measure and adjust the pH
Saves time and minimizes effort in the lab
Biological tests: free of DNase, RNase, Protease, and Nickase
Chemical tests: Iron ≤10 ppm, lead ≤5 ppm
Packaging
Foil pouches
Reconstitution
Contents of one pouch, when dissolved in 500 mL of ultrapure water, will yield a 0.1M Tris solution, pH 7.0 at 25 °C. Contents tested to be DNAse, RNAse, Protease, and Nickase free. This product is suitable for use in cell culture and electrophoresis applications.
Storage and Stability
Store at room temperature. Product may naturally agglomerate but can be simply broken up within the pouch prior to use.
