Tris Base Ultra Pure is a commonly used reagent and buffer component. Tris Base, Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, is a primary amine that acts as a buffering agent to maintain a stable pH in experimental procedures.

It is particularly effective in the pH range of 7.2 to 9.0, making it suitable for applications requiring slightly alkaline to mildly acidic pH conditions. Tris Base Ultra Pure is highly purified to remove impurities and contaminants, ensuring the highest quality for laboratory use.

The ultra-pure form is essential for applications where the presence of impurities can negatively impact experimental results. Tris Base Ultra Pure is commonly used in various molecular biology techniques such as DNA and RNA extraction, protein purification, and enzymatic assays.

It is also utilized in the preparation of electrophoresis buffers and PCR reactions.
