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.
Important: For best results, do NOT use the 300V Power Supply at its
maximum electrical load limits. Variations in buffer conditions can result in exceeding
the power supply's maximum voltage, current, or power output capacity and produce
undesirable variations in electrophoretic separations.
General Operating Instructions
Follow the instructions below to operate the 300V Power Supply.
• Turn on the 300V Power Supply by pressing the power switch on the rear side of the
instrument. Upon start-up, the Display Screen on the front of the instrument will
illuminate.
• Use the START/PAUSE and STOP keys to switch on and off the power to the output
jacks.
Recommendation
The duration of electrophoresis can be defined in time (hours/minutes). When using
this or any electrophoresis product, we recommend that you adhere to the time
protocols provided in protocol and application manuals.
For best results, follow these important guidelines when running
Important:
multiple gels and electrophoresis units concurrently.
Avoid running samples with differing buffer salt concentrations at the same time.
•
Note: Variations in conductivity due to differences in buffer salt concentrations can affect the
run of all the samples run at the same time.

Operation

The 300 Volt Power Supply is designed to operate under different modes, Constant
mode or Programming Mode, depending upon your electrophoresis needs.
Use the Constant Voltage, Constant Power or Constant Current Operation for
applications that require only one specific voltage limit, current limit, and power limit
continuously during the entire duration of electrophoresis.
