Methods Getting started Install the Check the label located near the AC inlet to ensure that the unit is compatible with locally provided voltage. PowerEase ® Power Supply ® Place the PowerEase 90W Power Supply on a level laboratory bench. Keep the area around the power supply clear to ensure proper ventilation of the unit. -
Page 8: Operation Modes
Operation modes Introduction The PowerEase ® 90W Power Supply is a microprocessor-controlled power supply designed to meet most electrophoresis needs in a single, easy to use unit. The power supply offers two modes: Constant Voltage and Constant Current. Use the Constant Voltage or Constant Current Mode for applications that require only one specific voltage limit or current limit during the entire duration of electrophoresis. - Page 9 Voltage limiting For most electrophoresis methods resistance increases throughout the run. Limiting the voltage provides the following advantages: • Current and power decrease throughout the run, providing an improving margin of safety over time. • The same voltage setting can be used regardless of the number or thickness of gels being electrophoresed.
