MemberDefinitionClass
1,3-bis(tris(hydroxymethyl)methylamino)propaneA water-soluble buffer substance used for the preparation of the biochemical and biological buffer solutions; pKa = 6.8 at 20 degreeC.bis-tris propane
ammonium acetateAn ammonium salt obtained by reaction of ammonia with acetic acid. A deliquescent white crystalline solid, it has a relatively low melting point (114degreeC) for a salt. Used as a food acidity regulator, although no longer approved for this purpose in the EU.ammonium acetate
ammonium citrateA citrate salt in which all three carboxy groups are deprotonated and associated with ammonium ions as counter-cations.triammonium citrate
bistrisA buffer substance useful for calibration of glass electrodes and for the preparation of the biochemical and biological buffer solutions; pKa = 6.46 at 25 degreeC.bis-tris
diisopropanolamineA secondary amino compound that is diethanolamine substituted by methyl groups at positions 1 and 1'. It is a versatile chemical used in a variety of personal care, cosmetic and industrial products.diisopropanolamine
formic acid, sodium saltAn organic sodium salt which is the monosodium salt of formic acid.sodium formate
potassium bicarbonateA potassium salt that is the monopotassium salt of carbonic acid. It has fungicidal properties and is used in organic farming for the control of powdery mildew and apple scab.potassium hydrogencarbonate
triethanolamineA tertiary amino compound that is ammonia in which each of the hydrogens is substituted by a 2-hydroxyethyl group.triethanolamine
tromethamineA primary amino compound that is tert-butylamine in which one hydrogen attached to each methyl group is replaced by a hydroxy group. A compound widely used as a biological buffer substance in the pH range 7--9; pKa = 8.3 at 20 degreeC; pKa = 7.82 at 37 degreeC.tris
