SECTION 1
General Information
1.1 Introduction
The Econo-Sub Horizontal Gel units offer gel sizes (14 x 20cm) SGE-014-02, (20 X 20cm) SGE-
020-02, (20 x 30cm) SGE-030-02, and (20 x 40cm) SGE-040-02. The gel tray and safety cover
are UV transparent acrylic. In the Econo-Sub Horizontal gel unit, gel casting is done in the gel
tray by sealing the ends of the tray with tape. The slotted gel tray configuration allows for single or
multiple sample separations. When the gel tray is used in combination with either two or more
sample combs, designed for multi-channel pipette loading, multiple screening of large sample
numbers can be facilitated easily. The Econo-Sub Horizontal Gel units come equipped with an
integral cooling chamber for temperature control and buffer recirculation ports for maintenance of
proper pH.

1.3 Safety
Power to the SGE-014-02, SGE-020-02, SGE-030-02 or SGE-040-02 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
20watts 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.
