How do you make 3M of tris buffer?

Answer 1

To prepare a 3M tris buffer, first calculate the amount of tris base needed. For a 1-liter solution, dissolve 363.2 grams of tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (tris base) in distilled water. Adjust the pH to your desired level, typically around 7.5-8.0, using hydrochloric acid (HCl), and then dilute to a final volume of 1 liter with distilled water. Store the buffer at room temperature or in the refrigerator for future use.
