Formulation
Common Applications
Storage

1 M Tris Base is an aqueous stock solution of tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane used to prepare and adjust biological and biochemical buffers in the neutral to alkaline range. It is suitable for titration with strong acids (e.g., HCl) to make Tris-based buffers at defined pH values for applications such as electrophoresis systems, nucleic acid workflows, protein biochemistry, and cell-free assays.

This solution can be diluted to working concentrations or combined with counter-ions to formulate buffers including Tris-acetate and Tris-borate systems. Tris has a temperature-dependent pKa and buffering capacity centered near physiological to mildly alkaline pH; users typically adjust pH at the intended working temperature. Store tightly capped to limit CO₂ absorption and resultant pH drift; refrigeration (2–8°C) can be used to reduce microbial contamination of the aqueous solution.

  • 1M Tris base solution
  • Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR): Provides Tris-based buffering to maintain optimal pH in PCR and qPCR master mixes.

  • DNA/RNA Gel Electrophoresis: Used to prepare TAE/TBE running and gel buffers from 1M Tris base by pH adjustment.

  • Protein Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE): Forms Tris-Glycine buffers for running, stacking, and resolving gels after titration to target pH.

  • Western Blot Transfer: Prepares Tris-Glycine transfer buffer (with methanol) for efficient protein transfer.

  • Enzyme Assays and Restriction Digests: Supplies a stable Tris buffer system to maintain reaction pH and enzyme activity.

  • Nucleic Acid Storage (TE Buffer): Makes Tris-EDTA for DNA/RNA resuspension and long-term stability.

  • Protein Purification: Buffers chromatography steps (e.g., anion exchange) by adjusting 1M Tris base to the desired pH.

  • General Buffer Preparation: Serves as a stock to create Tris or Tris-HCl buffers across pH 7.0–9.0 by titration with HCl.

  • Cell Lysis and Extraction Buffers: Provides the Tris component for RIPA and other lysis buffers to stabilize proteins.

  • Hybridization and Blotting: Contributes Tris buffering capacity in Southern/Northern blot hybridization and wash solutions.
