Methods
Getting started
Install the
PowerEase
®
90W
Power Supply
1.
Check the label located near the AC inlet to ensure that the unit is compatible with
locally provided voltage.
2.
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.
3.
For your safety: Position the unit properly such that the On-Off switch and the AC
inlet located on the rear of the unit are easily accessible.
4.
Ensure the AC power switch is in the Off position.
5.
Attach the power cord to the AC inlet. Use only properly grounded AC outlets and
power cords.
6.
Connect the leads from the electrophoresis unit; insert the positive lead (+) into the
positive (red) output jack, and the negative lead (–) into the negative (black) output
jack.
Important guidelines
Introduction
The important guidelines for operating the PowerEase
®
90W 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 PowerEase
®
90W Power Supply at its
maximum electrical load limits. Variations in buffer conditions can result in exceeding the
power supply’s maximum voltage or current output capacity and produce undesirable
variations in performance.
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 protocols given in
the electrophoresis product manuals, and durations, specified in time.
Important:
For best results, follow these important guidelines when running multiple
gels and electrophoresis units concurrently. For example:
•
Avoid running samples of widely differing salt concentrations or sample buffers at
the same time or on the same gel.
•
Properly prepare your samples.
Note:
Variations in conductivity due to differences in buffer salt concentrations can affect
the run of all the samples run at the same time.
