To safely prepare trimethylol aminomethane (Tris) powder into a solution, you can follow these steps:

1.Prepare the required materials: Make sure you have accurate weighing tools, clean glass or plastic containers for storing the solution, distilled water or other suitable sterile water solution, and stirring tools.

2.Calculate the amount: First determine how much volume of Tris solution you need and calculate the corresponding amount of Tris powder. Usually, the concentration of Tris solution is 1M or more commonly 0.5M, etc., depending on the need to choose the appropriate concentration. Use the formula m=cVM (where m is the mass, c is the concentration, V is the volume, and M is the molar mass) to calculate the amount of Tris powder required.

3.Weigh the powder: Accurately weigh the calculated Tris powder weight on the weighing paper, taking care to keep the environment dry to avoid moisture absorption.

4.Dissolve the powder: Transfer the measured Tris powder to a container containing an appropriate amount of distilled water and stir thoroughly with a magnetic stirrer or a hand mixer until the powder is completely dissolved. If the pH needs to be adjusted, it can be carefully adjusted to the target pH with a dilute acid or alkali solution after this step.

5.Constant volume and mixing: Transfer the dissolved Tris solution to the prepared volumetric bottle, add enough water to make the liquid level close to the scale line, and then rinse the residual liquid on the mixing rod and the container wall with distilled water, and transfer it to the volumetric bottle. Finally, add water to the mark and shake gently.

6.Storage and labeling: Store the prepared Tris solution in a clean, airtight glass or plastic container and label it with the name of the solution, the concentration, the date of preparation and other information for future use.


During the entire process, it is important to follow laboratory safety regulations, such as wearing protective glasses and lab clothing, and avoiding direct contact with chemicals and solutions. Ensure that all operations are carried out in a well-ventilated environment to reduce the risk of chemical gas inhalation.
