jojo90Participanti’ve encountered a qns that i dunno how to do
hope u guys can help me out thx.the qns:
a student was told to dilute Tris-HCL buffer from 1M to 10mM before using it for a biological assay. Instead of doing that, he used the 1M solution directly in his assay, citing that a higher concentration of the buffer would providebetter buffering capacity.State if you agree with him and why. - April 27, 2008 at 4:51 am #83704mithParticipant
The question is asking two things I think–
1. Is the student’s explanation correct? i.e. does 1M buffer provide better buffering?
2. If true, is this a good idea?

You can start by looking up or reading up on how a buffer works.
