1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 OVERVIEW
PowerPac power supplies provide constant voltage, power, and current for electrophoresis applications.
The PowerPac 3000 is ideal for DNA sequencing, isoelectrofocusing (IEF), and electrophoresis; the
PowerPac 1000 may be used for most isoelectrofocusing (IEF) applications, blotting, and general elec-
trophoresis. Either PowerPac can be used also for SDS-PAGE, two-dimensional electrophoresis, native gel
electrophoresis, and horizontal DNA/RNA electrophoresis.
PowerPac 1000
Voltage output:
Adjustable from 5 to 1000 volts dc (VDC) in increments of 1 volt.
Current output:
Adjustable from 1 to 500 milliAmps (mA) in increments of 1 mA.
Power output:
Adjustable from 1 to 250 watts (W) in increments of 1 W
PowerPac 3000
Voltage output:
Adjustable from 25 to 3000 volts dc (VDC) in increments of 1 volt.
Current output:
Adjustable from 1 to 400 milliAmps (mA) in increments of 1 mA.
Power output:
Adjustable from 1 to 400 watts (W) in increments of 1 W
The PowerPac 1000 and PowerPac 3000 are fully programmable, with the capacity to store up to 9 separate
methods, with each method consisting of up to 9 steps. PowerPac default limit values for voltage, current,
and power are displayed when the unit first is turned on. These values may be changed for each applica-
tion. PowerPac power supplies can run continuously, or they can be programmed to run under time or volt-
hours control. Up to four electrophoresis cells can be connected to a power supply.
