Tris Buffer

Tris buffer, also known as Tris-HCl, is a solution used in laboratories to maintain a stable pH level during experiments, especially in biology and chemistry. It consists of a chemical called tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, which can easily accept or donate hydrogen ions, helping to keep the solution's acidity or alkalinity constant. This stability is crucial for processes like protein analysis or cell studies, where even small pH changes can affect results. Tris buffer is effective in a range of pH levels, making it a versatile tool for ensuring reliable and consistent experimental conditions.
