EV2650 Consort Maxi Power Supply: Precision Control for High-Voltage Electrophoresis
The EV2650 Consort Maxi Power Supply is a high-performance unit engineered to provide absolute precision for mid-to-high voltage electrophoresis applications. Specifically designed for laboratories performing SDS-PAGE, nucleic acid separations, and protein blotting, this power supply solves the challenge of maintaining consistent electrical parameters during complex runs. With a 600V and 500mA capacity, the EV2650 ensures stable, reproducible results, preventing the band distortion often caused by fluctuating power delivery in standard units.
At the heart of the EV2650 is an advanced microprocessor system featuring four parallel output pairs, enabling the simultaneous operation of up to four electrophoresis tanks to maximise laboratory throughput. The unit is equipped with a high-resolution graphical display and an intuitive on-screen help system available in four languages, guiding users through setup and error resolution. With sophisticated firmware supporting constant voltage, current, and power modes—alongside automatic cross-over and comprehensive data logging—the EV2650 provides the technical rigour required for modern, high-throughput research environments.
Key Benefits:
- High-Throughput Design: Quad-output connectivity. Features four parallel output sockets, allowing for the simultaneous run of multiple gels or blots to significantly reduce bench time.
- Intelligent Programming: Customisable protocols. Supports a 9×9 method programming mode, allowing users to store up to nine different programmes with nine steps each, including linear voltage gradients.
- Advanced Data Traceability: Automated run logging. Automatically records up to 100 hours of run data, including voltage, current, and power events, which can be exported via an optically isolated USB interface for analysis.
- Superior Safety Suite: Comprehensive user protection. Equipped with ground leakage detection, overload protection, and no-load sensing to ensure a safe operating environment for all laboratory personnel.
- Reliable Sample Preservation: Automatic power recovery. In the event of a mains failure, the unit automatically resumes the run with the remaining time and settings, protecting valuable samples from loss.
Technical Insights
The EV2650 incorporates a Real Time Clock with battery backup to ensure all logged data is timestamped accurately for regulatory compliance. Its firmware-driven architecture is designed for longevity, allowing for seamless updates via USB to incorporate new features or custom parameters. The unit is also engineered to maintain constant voltage even at exceptionally low currents and is built to withstand the variable temperatures of a busy laboratory environment without performance degradation.
