Introduction

 

Overview

   

 

The ENDURO 250 Volt Power Supply is a microprocessor-controlled power supply designed 

to meet most electrophoresis needs in a single easy to use unit.    The power supply

s small 

foot print and stacking feature conserve valuable bench space. The power supply is capable of 

running constant voltage, constant current or constant power applications and programming 

mode concurrently. This instrument is ideal for DNA/RNA electrophoresis, SDS-PAGE, native 

PAGE, and IEF applications.    With four sets of output jacks that can be used simultaneously, 

the ENDURO 250 Volt Power Supply is designed to run applications at maximal power and 

efficiency.    The ENDURO 250 Volt Power Supply offers three modes, Constant Voltage, 

Constant Current and Constant Wattage Mode.    This manual describes the setup and 

operation of ENDURO 250 Volt Power Supply including important information on safety and 

maintenance of the unit.
