Introduction 1
1 Introduction
The GE Healthcare Electrophoresis Power Supply EPS 601 is a high quality, high precision
and safe power supply for electrophoresis applications that require a maximum of
600 volts and 400 mA.
EPS 601 is primarily designed for the following techniques:
1. SDS-PAGE (Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis)
2. Native PAGE
3. Agarose electrophoresis
4. Electroblotting
5. DNA pulsed field electrophoresis
6. DNA fragment separation
7. DNA submarine electrophoresis
Electrophoresis separations can be controlled by voltage, current or power. The EPS 601
automatically switches over the controlling parameter according to programmed limits
and conductivity variations in the system.
Two electrophoresis units can be connected to the EPS 601 and run with the same
programmed method at one time. Three programs can be saved.

Electrophoresis Power Supply EPS 601 User Manual 18-1130-19 Edition AD
2.1 Safety precautions
Extreme caution should be exercised in the operation of this instrument as it can
develop sufficient voltage and current to produce a lethal shock.
To avoid any risk of injury, the instrument should only be operated by properly trained
personnel and always in accordance with the instructions provided.
Read this entire manual before using this power supply.
1. This instrument is designed for indoor use only.
2. The instrument must always be used with the protective earth lead of the power
cord correctly grounded to earth at the mains outlet.
3. To permit sufficient cooling, ensure that the vents in the rear and sides of the
instrument are not covered.
4. Do not operate the instrument in extreme humidity (above 95%). Avoid
condensation by letting the unit equilibrate to ambient temperature when taking
the power supply from a colder to a warmer environment.
5. Keep the instrument as dry and clean as possible. Wipe regularly with a soft damp
cloth. Let the power supply dry completely before use. If wetted, unplug the power
supply until the instrument is dry.
6. Use only undamaged electrical wire and equipment specified for the voltages you
will use. High voltages wires must meet the requirements of the
IEC 1010-2-031:1993 electrical standard. Any electrophoresis equipment connected
to the power supply should meet the requirements of the IEC 1010-1:1993
electrical standard.
7. Note that the output is connected to the chassis/reference earth.

2.2 Built-in safety features
The EPS 601 has been tested and complies with the IEC 61010-1 (EN 61010-1) electrical
safety standard. The power supply also has several built-in safety functions. Error
messages are also shown on the display (see 7. Trouble shooting):
1. Functional earth leakage.
Should the power supply be connected to an electrophoresis unit that has a leakage
path to earth, the EPS 601 will detect this fault and the high voltage is turned off.
2. Start current check.
To ensure that an electrophoresis unit is connected correctly, the power supply
checks that the resistance is not higher than a specified limit at a low safety voltage
(<40V). If this resistance is too high, the voltage is turned off. Too high a resistance
can also be caused by using buffers with extremely low conductivity. The high
voltage is also turned off in this case and an error message is shown. This function
can be disabled to perform certain applications (see 5.4 Optional programming).
3. Sudden load change detection.
This function prevents accidents under running conditions due to a break in the
electrical circuit such as a bad connection to the electrophoresis unit. The high
voltage is turned off in such an event.
Error messages for sudden fails are also shown on the display.
