Bis-Tris by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Also known as Bis-tris methane or 2,2-Bis (hydroxymethyl)-2,2,2 nitrilotriethanol, this organic compound is an organic tertiary amine. The reagent is available as a powder which is soluble in water. It has a melting point of 102 to 103 C. While it is stable under general conditions, this reagent is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. CAS No.: 6976-37-0 Quantity Provided: 25 gm per bottle Molecular formula: C8H19NO5 Molecular weight: 209.24 Assay: 98 %Bis-Tris has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. This reagent finds applications in the organic synthesis of various derivatives. As a buffering agent, Bis-Tris is an effective buffer between the pH range of 5.8 and 7.3. It is a common component of many buffer systems used for various types of electrophoresis. It can additionally be used as a substitute for the highly toxic buffer, cacodylate. It may form a complex with some common metals, such as Cu(II) and Pb(II) which should be taken note of. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
