Tris-based Buffers
Tris-buffered saline (TBS) is an isotonic, non-toxic buffer used in various biochemical experiments to maintain a narrow, slightly alkaline pH range of 7-9. While the conjugate acid of Tris has a pKa of 8.07 at 25 °C, the solution pH shift is observed as temperature changes (0.03 units per degree Celsius). TBS buffer is commonly used as a laboratory reagent for washing, diluting, cell culture processing, Western blotting, ELISA and multiple assays and immunohistochemistry steps. Tris acts as a buffering agent, and NaCl regulates the solution's tonicity, allowing it to be isotonic or hypertonic based on the desired concentration.

Description:
Tris-HCl buffer is widely used in molecular biology techniques like gel electrophoresis, nucleic acid work, protein extraction and purification. It is used for preparing SDS-PAGE gel solutions, electrophoresis running buffers, and cell culture media. It is a mild buffer that does not significantly interfere with or inhibit most biochemical processes and protein-protein interactions. Its buffering capacity prevents abrupt changes in pH during purification steps, which could denature or degrade proteins.
