General Information
1.1 Introduction
The Submarine/Horizontal Gel units offer gel sizes (14 x 20cm) SGU-014T-02, (20 x 20cm) SGU-
020T-02, (20 x 30cm) SGU-030T-02, (20 x 40cm) SGU-040T-02, (26 x 14cm) SGU-2614T-02
(26 x 26cm) SGU-2626T-02, and SGU-2640T-02 (26cm x 40cm). In the Submarine/Horizontal gel
units, the unique tapered baffle system allows immediate gel casting directly onto the removable
UV transparent gel tray without having to seal with agar or tape. Casting can also be done
outside the unit in the gel tray by sealing the ends of the tray with tape. The UV transparent
slotted gel tray configuration allows for single or multiple sample separations. When the gel tray
is used in combination with multiple sample combs, designed for multi-channel pipette loading,
screening of large sample numbers can be easily facilitated. The Submarine/Horizontal Gel units
come equipped with an integral cooling chamber for temperature control and recirculation ports
for proper maintenance of buffer pH.

1.3 Safety
Power to the Submarine/Horizontal gel 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
500-600 VDC
20 watts power
90mA current
55
°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, and 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 manufacturer.
