Frequently Asked Questions
What are the relations between Voltage, Current, Power and Resistance?
Power (W) = Voltage (V) x Current (A)
Resistance () = Voltage (V) / Current (A)
How does a power supply react after pressing RUN?
The internal generator will start building up the high voltage at the output terminals while voltage and current
are constantly measured and power is calculated. When one of the preset parameters is exceeded, the
generator stops and will keep that parameter constant.
How important is the resistance of an electrophoresis unit?
The resistance of an electrophoresis unit depends on its size, gel thickness, amount of buffer, buffer
conductivity and temperature. This resistance will normally decrease in time due to a slowly increasing
temperature. Electrophoresis units which have a resistance below the minimum load resistance of a power
supply will trigger an alarm! Read the output voltage and current during a run to measure the resistance and
use above formula to calculate the value.
How to keep a constant voltage during a run?
Program the desired voltage and a higher current and power then the maximum expected values:
Current > Voltage / Resistance
Power > Voltage x Current
How to keep a constant current during a run?
Program the desired current and a higher voltage and power then the maximum expected values:
Voltage > Current x Resistance
Power > Voltage x Current
How to keep a constant power during a run?
Program the desired power and a higher voltage and current then the maximum expected values:
Voltage > Current x Resistance
Current > Voltage / Resistance
Why are my output values different from those of a similar experiment?
Either your programmed parameters are not equal to those described or the resistance of your
electrophoresis unit is different (see above). It cannot be due to e.g. another model of power supply as the
relations between Voltage, Current, Power and Resistance are monitored in the same way by any instrument
(the electrical laws cannot be disregarded!).
What about connecting more than one unit to the same power supply?
The outlets being in parallel each electrophoresis unit will be supplied with exactly the same voltage. However,
current and power may differ due to differences between them even when the same model, gel, buffers, etc...
are used. Therefore, it is recommended to run several electrophoresis units only in the constant voltage
mode on the same power supply.
Mind also that adding tanks will increase the current and the power. These parameters may be limited by the
power supply and cause it to switch over to constant current or constant power.

Zeer belangrijk
Deze elektroforesevoeding maakt gebruik van de modernste technieken en is verkrijgbaar in verschillende
versies. Omdat het gevaarlijk hoge spanningen kan geven met een hoog vermogen, is het zeer belangrijk om
deze handleiding eerst grondig door te nemen. Niettegenstaande dit toestel voldoende beveiligd is tegen
verkeerd gebruik en mogelijke accidentele fouten, moet toch ten zeerste worden opgepast wanneer met hoge
spanningen wordt gewerkt.
1. Vermijd om de uitgangen met gelijk welk geleidend voorwerp aan te raken en zorg er steeds voor
dat een tweede persoon aanwezig is om voor uw veiligheid te zorgen in geval van een ernstige
elektrische schok.
2. Raak geen enkel deel van de opstelling (voeding, kabels of tank) aan zonder eerst het toestel
uitgeschakeld te hebben.
3. Werk nooit met natte handen.
4. Verbind nooit één van de uitgangen of de buffer in de tank met de aarde.
5. Verbind de uitgangen enkel met een goed geïsoleerde elektroforesekamer met veiligheidsdeksel.
6. Maak nooit andere verbindingen, zoals b.v. verschillende voedingen in serie of in parallel schakelen.
7. Om mogelijke elektrische schokken te vermijden, de achterwand of het deksel nooit verwijderen.
8. Stel het toestel niet bloot aan regen of enige andere vloeistof.
9. Mors geen vloeistoffen of steek geen metalen voorwerpen in het toestel.
10. Draag er zorg voor om de voeding niet te laten vallen zodat ze niet beschadigd wordt, de
veiligheidsvoorzieningen onklaar worden of uzelf gekwetst wordt. Indien men het toestel heeft laten
vallen of de kast beschadigd werd, het netsnoer verwijderen en het toestel door een erkend
technicus laten nakijken op zijn veiligheid.
11. Het feit dat het toestel naar wens werkt betekent niet dat het voldoende geaard is of dat het volledig
veilig is. Bij elke twijfel hieromtrent een bevoegd elektricien raadplegen.
12. De verluchtingsgaten nooit dicht maken of het toestel in een kast plaatsen zonder voldoende
ventilatie.
13. Plaats het toestel nooit nabij of op een radiator, kachel of verwarmingselement.
14. Vermijd plaatsen waar het toestel aan direct zonlicht wordt blootgesteld.
