TrometamolUses: Trometamol (Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, generally referred to as Tris) is an organic compound with the molecular formula (HOCH 2 ) 3 CNH 2 . Tris is widely used in the preparation of buffers in biochemistry and molecular biology experiments. For example, TAE and TBE buffers (used for the dissolution of nucleic acids) commonly used in biochemical experiments require Tris. Because it contains amino groups, it can undergo condensation reactions with aldehydes. In addition, Tris is also an intermediate for the preparation of surfactants, vulcanization accelerators and some drugs. Tris is also used as a titration standard.
