TRIS AMINO™ 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. TRIS AMINO Buffer is available in a Standard Grade (99.3% purity) and an ACS Grade (99.8% purity) that conforms to American Chemical Society (ACS) standards.
