Infobox references

TAPS or [tris(hydroxymethyl)methylamino]propanesulfonic acid is commonly used to make buffer solutions.

It can bind divalent cations, including Co(II) and Ni(II).^[1]

TAPS is effective to make buffer solutions in the pH range 7.7–9.1, since it has a pK_a value of 8.44 (ionic strength I=0, 25 °C).^[2]

The pH (and pK_a at I≠0) of the buffer solution changes with concentration and temperature, and this effect may be predicted e.g. using online calculators.^[3]
