Application

Trizma has been used:
  • In the dissection medium and culture medium of Hippocampal organotypic tissue cultures[1]
  • As a component of lysis buffer before immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting[2]
  • As a component of harvest buffer, lysis buffer, ChIP dilution buffer, and wash buffer in chromatin immunoprecipitation method for studying protein-DNA binding[3]
  • As a component of mixed buffer formulations[4][5]
  • As a component of NuPAGE loading buffer for SDS-PAGE and as a component of transfer buffer for Western blotting[5]
Trizma is used in the formulation of buffer solutions in the pH range between 7.5 and 8.5. Tris buffer solutions are widely used in cell and molecular biology for processes such as protein and nucleic acid extraction and purification. Trizma based buffers are also in column chromatography and in gel electrophoresis. Trizma base is used as a general reagent for the preparation of all types of Tris buffers.

General description

Tris is an established basimetric standard and buffer used in biochemistry and molecular biology.[6] It may be used by itself as a buffer or as a component of mixed buffer formulations, such as Tris-EDTA (TE) buffer, Tris-acetate-EDTA (TAE) buffer, Tris-borate-EDTA (TBE) buffer, etc.[7] It is pure, essentially stable, relatively non-hygroscopic and has a high equivalent weight.

The BioChemika quality is for the usual biochemical applications. The products designated as BioChemika Ultra grade are suitable for different applications like purification, precipitation, crystallization and other applications which require tight control of elemental content. Trace elemental analyses have been performed for all qualities. The molecular biology qualities are also tested for absence of nucleases and the luminescence quality spectroscopic tests are performed.

Other Notes

Easily compare specifications for Trizma products with the Trizma specification table.
Running buffer component in non-denaturing agarose gel electrophoresis; In non-denaturing and urea-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis; DNA digest analysis with capillary electrophoresis.
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.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
