5 M Tris-HCl is a concentrated buffering solution used to establish and maintain defined pH conditions in molecular biology and biochemistry workflows.

It is diluted to prepare working buffers such as TAE, TBE, and TE, for resuspension and handling of plasmid DNA from E. coli, for nucleic acid electrophoresis, for pH adjustment in enzyme reaction mixtures, and for protein purification steps requiring near-neutral to slightly alkaline pH.

Tris-HCl has a pKa near 8.1 at 25 °C and provides buffering capacity across approximately pH 7.0–9.0; the apparent pH is temperature dependent. Typical practice includes diluting with high-purity, nuclease-free water and adjusting pH at the intended working temperature. Store tightly closed to minimize CO₂ absorption.

  • 5M Tris-HCl
  • Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR/qPCR): Prepares Tris-HCl–based reaction and dilution buffers to maintain optimal pH for polymerase activity.

  • Gel Electrophoresis (Proteins): Used to make Tris-HCl resolving and stacking gels and Tris-Glycine running buffers for SDS-PAGE and native PAGE.

  • Western Blotting: Formulates TBS/TBST transfer and wash buffers to preserve protein integrity and antibody binding.

  • Protein Purification: Buffers for ion-exchange and affinity chromatography, ensuring stable pH during binding, wash, and elution.

  • Enzyme Assays: Provides controlled pH in assay and storage buffers to support reliable enzyme kinetics.

  • Nucleic Acid Handling: Prepares TE (Tris-EDTA) and related buffers for DNA/RNA extraction, storage, and resuspension.

  • Cell Lysis and Sample Prep: Component of Tris-based lysis buffers (e.g., RIPA, Tris lysis) for protein extraction.

  • Immunoassays (ELISA/IFA): Used in coating, blocking, and wash buffers to stabilize antigen–antibody interactions.

  • Hybridization and Molecular Biology Workflows: Maintains pH in hybridization, ligation, and restriction enzyme buffers.

  • General Buffer Preparation and pH Adjustment: Concentrated stock to rapidly formulate Tris-HCl buffers at desired pH and molarity.

  • pH: 8.00 ± 0.04
