Overload detection, grounding protection, and audible alarms guard against unsafe conditions. This system operates passively without a cooling fan and runs on global AC power standards, ensuring suitability across various laboratory environments.
User-Friendly Design and Versatile OperationConstructed from high-quality plastic and stainless steel, this system features color-coded 4 mm connections and a low-buffer requirement (10-15 ml/gel), making setup and maintenance hassle-free. Suitable for dealer, distributor, exporter, manufacturer, supplier, trader, and wholesaler roles in India, it meets rigorous laboratory demands with straightforward installation and operation.
FAQ's of BioRad Trans-Blot SD System and PowerPac HC Power Supply System:
Q: How does the BioRad Trans-Blot SD System facilitate protein or nucleic acid transfer?
A: The BioRad Trans-Blot SD System is engineered to efficiently transfer proteins and nucleic acids from gels onto membranes, a key step in blotting applications for molecular biology research. It operates using advanced electrodes and a low-buffer system to ensure uniform and reliable transfer.
Q: What are the key benefits of using the PowerPac HC Power Supply with the Trans-Blot SD System?
A: Pairing the PowerPac HC with the Trans-Blot SD System provides precise control via constant voltage or current, programmable timers, and a digital LCD display for monitoring. Enhanced safety features, such as overload detection and audible alarms, maximize user and equipment protection during runs.
Q: When should I choose constant voltage, constant current, or timer mode during transfers?
A: Constant voltage is ideal when consistent field strength is required, constant current ensures stable current flow for uniform transfers, and timer mode provides automation for reproducible results across experiments. The choice depends on your protocol requirements and desired consistency.
Q: Where can the Trans-Blot SD and PowerPac HC systems be used?
A: These instruments are suitable for molecular biology and biochemistry laboratories, especially those conducting research in universities, hospitals, and diagnostic centers. The systems comply with global voltage requirements, supporting both 100-120 V and 220-240 V AC power sources.
Q: What safety measures does the PowerPac HC Power Supply offer?
A: The PowerPac HC Power Supply is equipped with overload detection, grounding protection, and audible alarms to alert users to unsafe conditions, thereby safeguarding the equipment and operator during experimental runs.
Q: How much buffer solution does the SD system require per gel during operation?
A: The Trans-Blot SD System is designed as a low-buffer system, requiring only 10-15 ml of buffer per gel, which reduces reagent costs and simplifies post-run cleaning.
Q: What is the process for operating the system and monitoring run conditions?
A: After manually loading the gels and membranes, users configure settings (voltage, current, or timer) via the PowerPac HC's digital interface. Automated run control, real-time display, and audible alarms ensure efficient transfers and easy monitoring throughout operation.
