General description
EPS 3501 XL is a high quality, high precision power supply for electrophoresis
applications that require advanced programming and high voltage.
EPS 3501 XL is primarily designed for techniques using programming in several phases
and/or voltage gradients:
• 2-D (Two dimensional) electrophoresis using Multiphor II Electrophoresis System
• IEF (Isoelectric focusing) using Immobiline™ or carrier ampholytes such as
CleanGel™ and ExcelGel™
• Flatbed SDS-PAGE (Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis) or flatbed native PAGE
EPS 3501 XL is also suitable for:
•DNA sequencing
• Agarose electrophoresis
•Electroblotting
• DNA pulsed field electrophoresis
Nine programs each with up to nine phases can be saved. Limiting values for voltage,
current and power as well as voltage gradients can be programmed for precise control
of the electrophoresis. The EPS 3501 XL automatically switches over the controlling
parameter according to programmed limits and gradients and conductivity variations
in the system.
Two electrophoresis units can be connected to EPS 3501 XL and run with the same
programmed method at one time.
