What to do if there's no electric current in my serva Blue Medical Equipment?
- J
  Jeffrey MarquezAug 18, 2025
  If there is no electric current and the drawer control lamps do not illuminate after starting the power supply, it could be due to several reasons. First, the electronic control might be detecting a wrong orientation of the electric field; in this case, plug the power supply cables in correctly, ensuring the black cable is connected to the cathode and the red cable to the anode. Second, the electronic control may detect that one or more drawers do not contain a gel; if running less than four gels, unplug the unused electrode lids and place them in the parking position. Third, the lids might not be properly positioned or plugged in; re-position the lids and check the connections between the lids and drawers.

Why is the migration of front very slow in serva Blue?

  If the migration of the front is very slow and will not reach the anode in time, it could be due to several reasons. The gel might be getting hot during electrophoresis because of insufficient heat dissipation, so check the chiller temperature and ensure no other apparatus is connected to the same chiller. Alternatively, the BlueHorizon might be subject to hot exhaust from the chiller or other apparatus, so relocate the chiller or other apparatus. Also, the gel could be getting hot during electrophoresis because too much power is applied per gel; if you run less than four gels at a time, reduce the mA and W settings in the power supply accordingly, following the manual strictly. Finally, adjust the mA and W settings according to the number of gels run.
