Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, commonly known as TRIS, is a primary amine buffer widely synthesized via condensation of chlorotrimethylsilane and ammonia. Its molecular formula is C4H11NO3 with CAS 77-86-1. This compound serves as a critical pH stabilizer in industrial processes due to its high buffering capacity near physiological pH.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible oxidizers. Avoid direct skin contact and inhalation of dust; use appropriate PPE including goggles and respirators during handling to prevent irritation.
