Invitrogen PowerEase 500 Power Supply

The Invitrogen PowerEase 500 Power Supply is a high-performance, programmable power supply, specifically crafted for mini gel electrophoresis applications. It is ready for immediate operation and offers precision, convenience, and robust safety features for both protein and nucleic acid gel electrophoresis. The unit's dimensions are 16.5 × 27 × 20 cm, weighing 2.9 kg, and it's optimized for mini gels with a 240 × 128 pixel LCD displaying real-time data.

Key features include connectivity to printers via a parallel port, real-time run data logging, pre-programmed modes specific to Novex™ gels, and the capability of supporting multiple gel types. It includes customizable control modes such as constant voltage, current, and power. Safety is ensured with protections against open/short circuits, thermal overloads, and over-currents. The PowerEase 500 also supports linear voltage ramping and accommodates a temperature probe for thermal shutoff.

For optimal use, be mindful of the LCD's performance in cold environments and conduct regular cleaning to prevent salt deposits. Always ensure safety by not connecting or disconnecting leads when the high-voltage indicator is active.
