Trometamol, also known as Tris or Tromethamine, is a buffering agent (or Good’s buffer) frequently used in biochemical and molecular biological applicaitons. Tris is often mixed with Sodium Chloride as a buffer, and the Sodium ion and Tris will often co-elute, deliving inaccurate quantitation results. Tris and Sodium ion can be retained, separated, and analyzed on a Primesep 100 mixed-mode stationary phase column using several different isocratic analytical methods with a simple mobile phase of water, Acetonitrile (MeCN), and a Formic acid (FA) buffer. By simply changing the relative concentrations of MeCN and Water, the retention times and order of Tris and Sodium can be significantly manipulated to deliver high quality separations. This analysis method is compatible with evaporative detection methods such as Evaporative Light Scattering Detection (ELSD), Charged Aerosol Detection (CAD), and Electrospray Ionization (ESI) for Mass Spectrometry (LCMS).

HPLC Method for Analysis of Trometamol (Tris, Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, Tromethamine, and or THAM)

March 27, 2011


TRIS or tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, is a hydrophilic basic compounds widely used in chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology. TRIS pKa (8.1) makes it an effective buffer in pH range of 7-9.2. TRIS is not retained on reversed-phase column and is not UV active, making it hard to be analyzed by HPLC. TRIS was analyzed by mixed-mode HPLC on a Primesep 100 column. Retention time of compound is controlled by the amount and pH of the buffer. No ion-pairing reagent is required for HPLC retention of hydrophilic basic molecules like TRIS. TRIS can be monitored by ELSD/CAD with trifluoroacetic acid in the mobile phase, or by LC/MS with ammonium formate or acetate in the mobile phase.
