Intended For Use As An Excipient

Tromethamine (Tris), is commonly used as a buffer and excipient in biological applications downstream in the manufacture of drug products. Tris is considered a “Good’s” buffer because it has low UV absorptivity, minimal reactivity, stable pH and is soluble in water.
