TAPS is used to make buffer solutions. It has a pKa value of 8.44 (ionic strength I=0, 25°C).[1] It can be used to make buffer solutions in the pH range 7.7–9.1.

The pH (and pKa at I≠0) of the buffer solution changes with concentration and temperature, and this effect may be predicted using online calculators. [2] Binds Co(II), Ni(II). [3]
