General description

Bis-Tris is a zwitterionic buffer that is used in biochemistry and molecular biology research. It is structurally analogous to the the Good buffers that were developed to provide buffers in the pH range of 6.15 - 8.35 for wide applicability to biochemical studies. The useful pH range of Bis-Tris is 5.8 - 7.2.

Application


  • A new test for the laboratory diagnosis of spherocytosis: This study introduces a novel diagnostic assay utilizing BIS-TRIS buffer, aimed at improving the detection and characterization of spherocytosis in clinical settings. The buffer′s stability and optimal pH make it suitable for routine use in clinical laboratories, contributing to accurate and reproducible diagnostic results (Vettore et al., 1984).
