General Information
1.1 Introduction
Horizontal Mini-Gel systems (GC)MGU-102T and (GC)MGU-202T provide a compact
format to rapidly separate and identify DNA and RNA fragments, PCR products and
synthetic oligonucleotides, while using minimal quantities of expensive reagents. The
tapered baffle system allows gel casting directly onto the unit or removable trays
without having to seal with agarose plugs or tape. The gel bed and gel tray are UV
transparent. Combs are offered in several thicknesses and formats to accommodate
a wide variety of experimental applications.

1.3 Safety
Power to the Mini-Horizontal units is to be supplied by an external DC voltage power
supply that must be ground isolated so that the DC voltage output floats with respect
to ground. For any power supply used, the maximum specified operating parameters
for the units are:
Maximum Limits
250VDC voltage
15 watts power
60 mA current
50*C ambient temperature
Current to the unit, provided from the external power supply, must enter the unit
through the lid assembly, providing a safety interlock to the user. Current to the unit
is broken when the lid is removed. Do not attempt to use the unit without the safety
lid. Always turn the power supply off before removing the lid, or when working with
the unit in any way. Follow safety precautions specified by the power supply manu-
facturer.
