Boost classroom performance and energize your teaching lab with Bio-Rad's PowerPac™ power supplies. No power supply offers better value and performance than the PowerPac series. Decades of experience in electrophoresis have gone into developing Bio-Rad's PowerPac power supplies. Designed to fit the complete range of teaching and research applications, all PowerPac power supplies are IEC 1010-1 certified, making Bio-Rad's the safest and most reliable electrophoresis power supplies in the world.

PowerPac Basic Power Supply

The PowerPac Basic power supply is designed for horizontal DNA electrophoresis in agarose gels and vertical acrylamide gel electrophoresis of proteins. Its design provides simple programming and a compact, stackable case. The PowerPac Basic power supply offers timer control, constant voltage or constant current output, real-time monitoring of both voltage and current, and pause/resume run capability.

Key features:

  • Runs up to four cells simultaneously
  • Timer controlled
  • Fully programmable
  • CE and EN-61010 safety compliant
  • Stackable

PowerPac HC Power Supply

If you want to bring new power to your separations, plug into the PowerPac HC power supply. It provides 3.0 A of current and 300 W of power. In addition to running standard horizontal agarose and vertical polyacrylamide gels, the PowerPac HC power supply easily handles all your blotting applications. To help you optimize every run, the PowerPac HC power supply provides fully adjustable voltage, current, and power controls.

Key features:

  • Runs up to four cells simultaneously
  • Timer controlled
  • Fully programmable
  • CE and EN-61010 safety compliant
  • LCD screen shows all parameters during run
  • Stackable

PowerPac Universal Power Supply

When it comes to electrical power, the most common laboratory request is for a single power supply to fit all power requirements, from mini vertical and high-throughput electrophoresis to blotting. With specifications that cover the broadest range of applications of all power supplies on the market, this PowerPac power supply is the most universal available.

Key features:

  • Runs up to four cells simultaneously
  • Timer controlled
  • Fully programmable
  • CE and EN-61010 safety compliant
  • LCD screen shows all parameters during run
  • Stackable

PowerPac HV Power Supply

Designed for high-voltage applications, the PowerPac HV power supply can run up to four DNA sequencing cells at once. The optional temperature probe allows automatic and precise control of temperatures between 30 and 90°C during electrophoresis. The PowerPac HV power supply uses a proprietary algorithm and circuitry to sense gel temperature and adjust the power to remain within 2°C of the desired temperature. This function is particularly useful for DNA sequencing, where constant temperature is key to superior band resolution and reproducibility.

Key features:

  • Runs four cells simultaneously
  • Timer controlled
  • Fully programmable
  • CE and EN-61010 safety compliant
  • LCD screen shows all parameters during run
  • Stackable
