Bio-Rad PowerPac Basic Electrophoresis Power Supply

Bio-Rad PowerPac Basic is a compact benchtop electrophoresis power supply used to drive standard horizontal and vertical electrophoresis cells, blotting modules and similar applications in research and teaching laboratories. The front panel is marked 300 V / 400 mA / 75 W, and the unit provides constant voltage or constant current operation with a digital LED display, V/mA/timer selection, up/down setting keys, run/pause and stop keys, and a timer function. Four pairs of color-coded banana jack outputs (two pairs on each side of the display) allow several cells to be run in parallel from the single unit. The nameplate on the underside reads Model No. PowerPac Basic, Serial No. 041BR106612, Max Power 150 VA, Frequency 50/60 Hz, Fuses 2.5 A Type T, AC Voltage 100-120/220-240 V, P/N 4206386 Rev E, CE marked and made in Singapore. The unit is fitted with the characteristic green translucent cover over the chassis. This unit comes from a surplus lot at the Lifordi facility in New Hampshire (lot 63) and is shown on a laboratory bench with a detachable IEC line cord. Cosmetically the housing is dirty in places and the case carries a yellow handwritten asset mark and green tape from the facility; no functional testing is documented. The power supply is a standalone benchtop item that is hand carryable and ships loose.
