Real-time electrophoresis for ROTIPHORESE
®
PROfessional I and II units
9958.1
/ 9961.1 ROTIPHORESE
®
PROfessional runVIEW Base MINI
The runVIEW base MINI consists of a blue light illuminator and a special lid, containing a spectral
emission filter and extractor fan within its viewing pane.
The lid is suitable for dyes with green fluorescence, e.g. the non-toxic dye SYBR
®
Green, and red
fluorescence, e.g. ethidium bromide or the non-toxic dye ROTI
®
Gelstain Red (Art. No. 0984).
The illuminator is adjustable to 2 different sizes. It is suitable to the units ROTIPHORESE
®
PROfessional I (Art. No. 2788.1) and ROTIPHORESE
®
PROfessional II (Art. No. 2799.1). No UV
safety equipment required for blue light illumination.
Convenient power supplies are EV1450 (Art. No. CP56.1) or Roth MINI (Art. No. 2907.1).

USING THE HORIZONTAL GEL ELECTROPHORESIS UNITS
A. Safety Precautions
1.
Read the instruction manual thoroughly before use.
2.
Never touch the power outlets with any conductive object (e.g. naked metal wire) other than
properly insulated power supply cables.
3.
Do not spill liquid or insert metal objects inside the power supply.
4.
Never block the ventilation holes or place the unit in any enclosure unless there is adequate
ventilation; never expose the power supply to a direct heat source.
5.
Never touch any part of the power supply assembly (i.e. power supply, cables or electrophoresis
tank) before switching OFF the power supply.
6.
Never manipulate with wet hands.
7.
Do not connect to ground any of the power outputs or the buffer within the electrophoresis tank; the
power outputs should be only connected to an insulated electrophoresis tank equipped with a
safety cover.
8.
Do not connect any power supplies in series or in parallel.
9.
Never open the back plate nor remove the cover, otherwise an electric shock may result. Repairs
should only be made by the manufacturer or a service technician authorised by the manufacturer.
10.
Never use this power supply if the safety cover is not in position correctly.
11.
Do not use the unit if there is any sign of damage to the external tank or cover. Contact our
technical service (++49-721-5606-172) immediately to replace or repair any damaged parts.
12.
Never use the power supply in the presence of flammable or combustible material as fire or
explosion may result.
13.
Ensure that the power supply is only connected to an earthed power line. Do not cut and splice the
power line. When removing the power cord from the wall, unplug it by holding the plug attachment
and not by pulling the cord. Do not hold the plug with wet hands or gloves.
14.
Please wear always protective gloves while working.
15.
Do not fill the unit with running buffer above the maximum fill lines.
16.
Do not move the unit when it is running.
CAUTION:
During electrophoresis very low quantities of various gases are produced at the
electrodes. The type of gas produced depends on the composition of the buffer employed. To disperse
these gases, make sure that the apparatus is run in a well ventilated area.
