General description

Our SAFC^® portfolio of high-quality raw materials for use in biopharmaceutical processing withstands strict quality control procedures plus the documentation and expertise to help our customers meet requirements as defined by the M-Clarity Program.

M-Clarity Program

As part of our EMPROVE^® Program, our raw materials are offered with EMPROVE^® Dossiers which provide comprehensive, up-to-date documentation to help you navigate regulatory challenges, manage risks, and improve your manufacturing processes.

Buffer quality is vital for the success of biopharmaceutical processes, because buffers are indispensable in nearly every production step.

Our broad portfolio of buffer materials manufactured under appropriate controls is tailored to your needs. Ranging from non-GMP grades for low-risk application, to IPEC-PQG GMP for higher-risk applications, we have products covering all your manufacturing needs.

Application

Tris HCl is a commonly used biological buffer. Tris/Tris HCl as a buffering system has a very broad usage in biological systems for biopharmaceutical manufacturing, cell culture, diagnostics and molecular biology. The pKa of Tris is 7.77 which corresponds closely to a physiological pH of 7.36.

Tris HCl is used as the conjugate buffer component with Tris/Tromethamine/Trizma in biopharmaceutical buffer formulations (both upstream and downstream applications), electrophoresis separations and diagnostic reagent formulations.

Other Notes

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.
