PR1MA Touch Power Supply

  • Touch screen control
  • Bright color display
  • Dual orientation, auto-rotating display

The PR1MA Touch is a workhorse electrophoresis power supply, ideal for the efficient separation of nucleic acids and proteins as well as basic western blotting applications. Four pairs of output jacks are wired in parallel for connecting multiple electrophoresis tanks. A color touch screen allows quick setting and monitoring of all run conditions, including run time, voltage, and current. Users can select “Constant Current” or “Constant Voltage” during an electrophoresis run, keeping the chosen parameter fixed as resistance changes. The dual orientation design with a rotating display allows the PR1MA Touch to be installed in the most convenient location, on a shelf or bench, saving valuable space.

 

The PR1MA Touch features a logical user interface.

Setting up an electrophoresis run couldn’t be easier; simply touch the parameter to select it, press the “up” and “down” arrows to adjust the value, and then touch “Start”. All parameters are always displayed, with no need to toggle between Time, Voltage, or Amperage. In addition, the run status is always displayed.
