Description
| Application | The pH values of all buffers are temperature and concentration dependent. For Tris buffers, pH increases about 0.03 unit per °C decrease in temperature, and decreases 0.03-0.05 unit per ten-fold dilution. For precise applications, use a carefully calibrated pH meter with a glass/calomel combination electrode. |
| Other Notes | Component of extraction buffer e.g. phenol extraction of DNA or RNA1; Buffer component of separating and stacking gels in the characterization of in vitro translation products by SDS-PAGE2. |
