1. Introduction
i-MyRun.N is a novel and innovative electrophoresis system including power supply, gel
electrophoresis tank, and gel casting system.
Power Supply:
The power supply (IMR-201) is a high-quality, high-precision, and safe power supply for
electrophoresis applications that require a maximum of 135 volts, 80 mA, and a timer is included.
Electrophoresis separations can be controlled by voltage and current. The IMR-201 automatically
switches over the control parameter according to the programmed limits and conductivity
variations in the system. Two electrophoresis units can be connected to the IMR-201 and run
simultaneously with the same programmed method. One program can be saved (last setting).
Gel Electrophoresis Tank:
The tank lid is equipped with slits to allow electrophoretic patterns to be easily observed and to
optimize heat dissipation. The tank and power supply are easily set up using one-touch
connectors. It is available to run the 96-well plate format, a maximum 156 samples, or the
maximum run length of 18.5 mm.
Gel Casting System:
The gel casting system (gel size: 124 (W) x 120 (L) mm) includes a unique UV transparent tray
(greater UV transparency for higher sensitivity), a sample loading guide for multichannel handling
of 6 combs and 26 wells (volume 9 µ
R
). On the other hand, you can use 13 wells (volume of 18 µ
R
)
if necessary.
2. Safety information
2.1 Safety precautions
Extreme caution should be exercised in the operation of this instrument as it can develop
sufficient voltage and current to produce a lethal shock.
To avoid any risk of injury, the instrument should only be operated by properly trained personnel
and always in accordance with the instructions provided.
Read this entire manual before using this power supply.
1. _This instrument is designed for indoor use only.
2. _The instrument must always be used with the protective earth lead of the power cord correctly
grounded at the mains outlet.
3. _To permit sufficient cooling, ensure that the vents in the rear and sides of the instrument are
not covered.
4. _Maximum relative humidity of 80% for temperatures up to 31°C decreasing to 50% relative
humidity at 40°C. Avoid condensation by letting the unit equilibrate to ambient temperature
when taking the power supply from a colder to a warmer environment.
5. _Keep the instrument as dry and clean as possible. Wipe regularly with a soft damp cloth. Let
the power supply dry completely before use. If exposed to moisture or condensation, unplug
the power supply until the instrument is dry.
6. _Use only undamaged electrical wire and equipment specified for the voltages you will use.
High voltage wires must meet the requirements of the IEC 1010-2-031:1993 electrical standard.
Any electrophoresis equipment connected to the power supply should meet the requirements
of the IEC 1010-1:1993 electrical standard.
7. _Note that the output is connected to the chassis/reference earth.
8. _Please contact Cosmo Bio if a problem occurs. (Never replace the fuse yourself.) Never open
the cover.
