7.0 Getting Started
Installing the Labnet Enduro™ 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 Labnet Enduro 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 power 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 red lead (+) into the red output jack, and
the black lead (-) into the black output jack.
8.0 Recommendations
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 time provided in the protocol and
application manuals.
For best results when running multiple gels and electrophoresis units concurrently, avoid running
samples with differing buffer salt concentrations at the same time. Variations in conductivity due to
differences in buffer salt concentrations can affect the run of all the samples run at the same time.
Always properly prepare and desalt your samples.
NOTE:
For best results, DO NOT use the Labnet Enduro Power Supply at its maximum electrical load
limits. Variations in buffer conditions can result in exceeding the power supply’s maximum voltage,
current, or power output capacity and produce undesirable variations in electrophoretic separations.
