Electrophoresis power supply (DEP-300HC)

Electrophoresis power supply (DEP-300HC)

PRIMARY CLINICAL & DIAGNOSTIC USES

1. High-Current Nucleic Acid and Protein Electrophoresis

• Primary Use: Provides a programmable high-current electrophoresis power supply with constant voltage (0-300V), constant current (0-3000mA), or constant power (0-400W) output, designed for high-throughput nucleic acid and protein electrophoresis in clinical diagnostic laboratories .

• How it helps: For the molecular biologist and clinical laboratory scientist, the DEP-300HC delivers stable power with extended current capacity up to 3000mA—more than double the capacity of standard electrophoresis power supplies—enabling rapid separation of DNA, RNA, and protein samples in high-volume diagnostic workflows. For the patient undergoing genetic testing for infectious diseases (COVID-19, influenza, hepatitis), hereditary disorders, or oncology biomarkers, faster electrophoretic separation reduces turnaround time for diagnostic results .

2. Simultaneous Multi-Unit Processing for High-Throughput Diagnostics

• Primary Use: Features four output sockets, enabling simultaneous power delivery to up to four electrophoresis units (electrophoresis tanks) for parallel sample processing .

• How it helps: For the laboratory manager and clinical laboratory scientist, the DEP-300HC’s four output jacks allow multiple electrophoresis gels to be run concurrently—significantly increasing sample throughput, reducing turnaround time, and improving laboratory efficiency for busy molecular diagnostics labs. For the patient, faster processing of diagnostic samples means receiving test results more quickly, enabling earlier diagnosis and treatment initiation.

3. Protein Separation for SDS-PAGE and Western Blotting

• Primary Use: Supports protein analysis applications including SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) for protein separation by molecular weight and Western blotting for specific protein detection .

• How it helps: For the clinical immunologist and protein specialist, the DEP-300HC’s high current output (up to 3000mA) and constant current mode ensure consistent protein migration through polyacrylamide gels—critical for accurate molecular weight determination and resolving complex protein mixtures in diagnostic immunoassays . For the patient undergoing autoimmune disease testing (e.g., lupus, rheumatoid arthritis) or protein abnormality screening, reliable protein separation supports accurate antibody detection and disease diagnosis.

4. High-Power Western Blotting and Transfer Applications

• Primary Use: Delivers up to 400W of power for demanding applications including protein transfer in Western blotting (electroblotting), meeting the power needs of blotting and high-throughput electrophoresis systems .

• How it helps: For the research scientist and diagnostic laboratory specialist, the DEP-300HC’s extended power range (400W maximum) exceeds standard electrophoresis power supplies by nearly threefold—enabling rapid protein transfer from polyacrylamide gels to membranes for immunodetection of disease-specific antibodies and antigens. For the patient undergoing confirmatory testing for HIV, Lyme disease, or autoimmune conditions, efficient Western blotting supports accurate diagnostic confirmation.

5. Programmable Multi-Step Electrophoresis Protocols with Data Management

• Primary Use: Features a 4.3-inch LCD touchscreen with programmable memory for multi-step methods, USB port for real-time data recording, and multi-CPU intelligent control for stable, reliable performance .

• How it helps: For the molecular biologist and quality assurance manager, the DEP-300HC’s programmable methods (voltage, current, power, time settings) and USB data export ensure consistent electrophoretic separation across runs and operators—reducing variability and supporting GLP compliance . For the patient, standardized protocols improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce the need for repeat testing due to inconsistent results.
