Development and Validation of an Innovative Analytical Approach for the Quantitation of Tris(Hydroxymethyl)Aminomethane (TRIS) in Pharmaceutical Formulations by Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry.

ABSTRACT: A novel COVID-19 vaccine (BriLife^®) has been developed by the Israel Institute for Biological Research (IIBR) to prevent the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus throughout the population in Israel. One of the components in the vaccine formulation is tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (tromethamine, TRIS), a buffering agent. TRIS is a commonly used excipient in various approved parenteral medicinal products, including the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines produced by Pfizer/BioNtech and Moderna. TRIS is a hydrophilic basic compound that does not contain any chromophores/fluorophores and hence cannot be retained and detected by reverse-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC)-ultraviolet (UV)/fluorescence methods. Among the few extant methods for TRIS determination, all exhibit a lack of selectivity and/o
