Electrophoresis power supply (DEP-600)

Electrophoresis power supply (DEP-600)

PRIMARY CLINICAL & DIAGNOSTIC USES

1. High-Power Delivery for Nucleic Acid and Protein Electrophoresis

• Primary Use: Provides a programmable high-power electrophoresis power supply with constant voltage (0-600V), constant current (0-1200mA), or constant power (0-500W) output, designed for clinical diagnostic and research applications .

• How it helps: For the molecular biologist and clinical laboratory scientist, the DEP-600 delivers stable power with extended voltage capacity up to 600V—enabling rapid separation of DNA, RNA, and protein samples, including high-resolution applications requiring elevated voltages. 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 (4 × 3 sets, parallel output), enabling simultaneous power delivery to up to four electrophoresis units for parallel sample processing .

• How it helps: For the laboratory manager and clinical laboratory scientist, the DEP-600’s multiple output jacks allow several 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. Constant Voltage for DNA Sequencing and SSCP Analysis

• Primary Use: Supports high-resolution nucleic acid applications including DNA sequencing gels and single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis for mutation detection .

• How it helps: For the molecular geneticist and clinical laboratory scientist, the DEP-600’s extended voltage range (up to 600V) and constant voltage mode ensure stable, reproducible separation of DNA fragments for sequencing and mutation screening—critical for accurate detection of genetic variants in hereditary disease testing and oncology biomarker analysis . For the patient undergoing genetic testing for inherited disorders or cancer predisposition, reliable high-resolution separation supports accurate diagnosis.

4. Protein Characterization and Isoelectric Focusing (IEF)

• Primary Use: Supports advanced protein applications including native-PAGE, SDS-PAGE, and isoelectric focusing for protein charge and molecular weight characterization .

• How it helps: For the clinical protein specialist and biochemist, the DEP-600’s wide voltage range and constant current/power modes enable precise separation of proteins for purity assessment, molecular weight determination, and charge-based isoelectric focusing—essential for diagnostic protein analysis in autoimmune diseases and monoclonal gammopathy detection . For the patient undergoing testing for multiple myeloma or autoimmune disorders, accurate protein characterization supports definitive diagnosis .

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-600’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.
