Tris buffer is a widely used buffering agent in biochemical and molecular biology research. It maintains a stable pH in the range of 7.0 to 9.0, making it ideal for experiments involving enzymes, nucleic acids, and proteins.
Tris is commonly used in DNA and RNA extraction, electrophoresis, and protein purification. Its stability, solubility, and low cost make it a preferred choice for many laboratory applications.
However, Tris can exhibit temperature-dependent pH changes, so researchers must account for this when designing experiments.
