Description
The Bio-Rad PowerPac Basic is a reliable, straightforward electrophoresis power supply designed for laboratory and classroom use. It’s built for basic applications such as submerged horizontal DNA agarose gel electrophoresis, vertical acrylamide gel electrophoresis of proteins, and blotting using the Mini Trans-Blot Cell. With adjustable voltage and current settings, simple programming, and a compact, stackable case, it’s a dependable choice for both teaching labs and research environments that need consistent power without unnecessary complexity.
Features:
- Flexible Output Control: Fully programmable for either constant current or constant voltage output
- Timed or Untimed Runs: Supports both timed operation and continuous (untimed) runs
- Automatic Crossover: Automatically switches the non-constant parameter to a new constant parameter when its set limit is reached, protecting the electrophoresis cell from damage
- Pause/Resume Function: Pause mode allows editing of run parameters, or stopping and resuming a run in progress
- Power Failure Detection: In timed mode, detects power interruptions and completes the run automatically once power returns
- Real-Time Monitoring: Displays live voltage and current readings during a run
- Safety Detection Systems: Automatic detection of rapid resistance changes, no-load conditions, overload/short-circuit, and overvoltage
- Compact, Stackable Design: Space-saving case that stacks neatly for classroom or lab bench storage
