Tris Buffer

Tris Buffer, short for Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane buffer, is a widely used chemical buffer system in biochemical and molecular biology laboratories. It is composed of the zwitterionic compound Tris and its conjugate acid/base pair, providing a stable pH environment for a wide range of biological reactions. Tris buffer is commonly employed in nucleic acid isolation, protein biochemistry, and enzyme assays due to its ability to maintain a relatively constant pH over a broad range of temperatures. Its versatility and effectiveness make it an indispensable tool for researchers working with delicate biological molecules and enzymatic reactions..
