What should be thecurrent, power and voltage for PAGE gel electrophoresis?
For Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (PAGE), the current, power, and voltage requirements vary based on the setup. In the context of electrophoresis power supplies, a controllable current of 0-90 mA at 120 V AC power supply is achievable at a low cost. Additionally, a study on an adapted electrophoresis power supply achieved 300V DC at 200mA for effective electrophoretic functions. To enhance efficiency, using Sodium Tetraborate in gel electrophoresis buffers allows for higher voltages, like 35 volts/cm, reducing run times significantly. In the context of RVSG apparatus for protein separation, a setup with 120 V for 6 hours at 25°C was used successfully for isoenzyme studies. Therefore, for PAGE gel electrophoresis, a current range of 0-200mA, power consumption based on the setup, and voltages up to 35 volts/cm can be considered depending on the specific requirements.
