Overview The Power Source 300V Power Supply is a microprocessor-controlled power supply designed to meet most electrophoresis needs in a single, easy to use unit. The power supply is capable of running constant voltage / constant current applications concurrently. This instrument is ideal for DNA/RNA electrophoresis, SDS-PAGE, native PAGE, and second-dimension SDS-PAGE applications.
Operational keys Functions STOP key: Used to stop operation from the Running Screen START/PAUSE key: Used to start operation / temporarily interrupt power to an operation in progress without terminating electrophoresis and to resume power after pausing without resetting the timer. CONSTANT key: Used to set up constant voltage or current values MODE key: Used to choose either Constant Voltage or Constant Current mode Down Arrow key: Used to move cursor down between parameters and to...
Important Guidelines Important guidelines for operating the 300V Power Supply are provided in this section. We recommend that you carefully review these guidelines before operating the instrument. For best results, do NOT use the 300V Power Supply at its maximum Important: electrical load limits.
On the Display Screen: • • The chosen constant parameter (Voltage or Current) is displayed in bold on the left side of the display. The Timer is the first line on the right-top, and the non-constant value is displayed in •...

Number and shipping instructions. The unit will be repaired as quickly as possible and returned to you. Replacing the Fuse One extra fuse is supplied with the 300V Power Supply. For additional fuses, contact VWR’s Technical Service department. To replace the fuse: 1.
APPENDIX Ohm’s Law Conversions Electrophoresis is the migration of a charged particle under the influence of an electrical field. The power supply output parameters voltage, current, and power are related by the following two equations: Voltage (V) = Current (I) x Resistance (R); (V=IR) Power (W) = Current (I) x Voltage (V);...
