In addition to acting as a buffer, what other unique skills does Tris have?

As a common biological buffer, Tris is not only widely used as a solvent for nucleic acids and proteins, but also one of the main components of protein electrophoresis buffers. In addition, Tris can also produce a variety of cosmetics, chemicals, pesticides, medicines, paint preparation and other products. It is an important intermediate for the preparation of surfactants, vulcanization accelerators, reducing agents and some drugs. 

1. Used as a medicine: as usual for acute metabolic and respiratory acidemia, Tris base is an amino acid buffer, which can absorb hydrogen ions to correct acidosis.

2. For synthesis: Tris is used to prepare surfactants, vulcanization accelerators and intermediates for some drugs. Because it has three equal hydroxyl groups, it can also be used as a good reducing agent. Under the alkaline condition of sodium hydroxide, the chloroauric acid solution can be reduced to prepare stable gold nanoparticles. This method is non-toxic and pollution-free, and belongs to the green reduction method.

3. Tris as a reducing agent: Under alkaline conditions, the chloroauric acid solution is reduced by ultrasound without adding other stabilizers to prepare relatively stable gold nanoparticles. The synthesis of environmentally friendly and biocompatible gold nanoparticles is realized. By adjusting the experimental conditions, gold nanoparticles of different sizes can be prepared.

4. Neutralizer: The most common role of TRIS in cosmetics is to adjust the PH value (pH), and it can also be used as a neutralizer to neutralize thickeners (carbomer) to reduce stickiness and improve skin Cell respiration efficiency prevents clogging of pores. In addition, TRIS can be used as an odor regulator in cosmetics containing amine salts to adjust the amine odor generated by friction when applying cosmetics, so as to avoid any residual or sustained odor release.

5. Coating preparation: Tris mainly plays the following four roles in the coating preparation process: pH regulator, crosslinking accelerator, polyester coating material and phase change core material.

Desheng has 15 years of rich experience in R&D and production of biological buffers, blood collection tube additives, color reagents, and chemiluminescence reagents, and can provide high-quality Tris product raw materials. In addition to Tris, the biological buffer series also include HEPES, CAPS, MOPS, and PIPES. Now the company is actively expanding into new areas. It can provide nucleic acid detection raw material virus preservation solution and disposable gel raw material carbomer. If necessary, please call for detailed consultation.
