Product
Description
The PowerEase®500 Power Suppl
y
is a microprocessor-controlled power suppl
y
for electrophoresis of pre-cast and hand-poured mini-gels. The power supply is
designed to simplify electrophoresis by combining high performance and
programming flexibility with ease of use when running mini-gel and blotting
applications.
The PowerEase®500 Power Supply is designed around the single gel concept:
you need to think only about the electrical parameters and limits for a single gel.
This manual describes the setup and operation of PowerEase®500 Power Supply
including important information on safety and maintaining the unit.
Features of
PowerEase®500
The important features of PowerEase®500 Power Suppl
y
are:
•Large LCD display allows electrical parameters to be displayed in either
graphical or numerical formats
•Eight pre-programmed methods for running and blotting Novex®pre-cast
mini-gels
•Four custom methods for running your custom applications
•Simple three step operating procedure to start running or blotting Novex®
pre-cast gels
•Microprocessor control provides highly accurate electrical outputs resulting
in exceptional blotting capability
•Parallel port for printing experimental results to most printers
•Optional Temperature Probe to continuously monitor the buffer temperature
and shut the unit down in the event of overheating
•Two sets of output jacks allows electrophoresis of multiple mini-cell units in
constant voltage, current, or watts
