Matters needing attention when using Tris buffer

2021-11-15

       1. The pH value of Tris buffer is greatly affected by temperature and concentration, so the use environment should be considered during the preparation process;

       2. Tris reacts with various molecules to a certain extent, including RNase inhibitors, aldehydes, enzymes, DNA, and common metals such as Cr3+, Fe3+, Ni2+, Co2+ and Cu2+, etc. It can work with heavy metals, but in some systems Also plays a depressive role;

       3. It is easy to absorb CO2 in the air, and the prepared buffer should be tightly sealed;

       4. For some interference effects on some pH electrodes, an electrode compatible with Tris solution is required;

       5. Tris is not suitable for the determination of bicinchoninic acid (BCA);

       6. Inhalation, ingestion, and skin absorption can cause injury. Wear gloves and goggles during operation.
