TRIS AMINO™ AC (Advanced Crystal) Buffer is manufactured exclusively by ANGUS using proprietary process technology and is less prone to clumping and hardness – without any change to the molecule itself. TRIS AMINO AC Buffer has a unique crystal morphology with a larger, more rounded particle structure and does not typically form strong cakes even when subjected to elevated conditions that tend to contribute to clumping – a chronic industry problem when using traditional TRIS buffers, especially at larger scales.
Similar to other TRIS AMINO Buffer grades, TRIS AMINO AC Buffer offers a cost-effective solution for lab and commercial applications where regulatory requirements are less stringent and do not require a monograph or to be produced under cGMP. TRIS AMINO Buffer is manufactured under a single global quality management system that includes ISO 9001:2015, with process controls and monitoring in a non-cGMP environment. TRIS AMINO Buffer is commonly used in diagnostic testing and as a processing aid in the purification of biological molecules where it provides mild alkalinity for buffering at physiological pH levels.
