Stratagene has developed the new SmartPower 4000 power supply, an all-in-one power supply for any electrophoretic application. The SmartPower 4000 power supply has been designed for the high-voltage, low-current requirements of DNA sequencing gels as well as for the low-voltage, high-current requirements of horizontal DNA gels and vertical protein gels. With its broad power range and four sets of output jacks, the SmartPower 4000 power supply is the perfect one-source power supply for running a variety of different experiments or for high-volume applications.

In 1990, Stratagene introduced the FeatherVolt power supplies,* a uniquely designed line of power supplies for all types of electrophoresis research. The FeatherVolt 500, 2000 and 3000 volt power supplies were smaller in size and lighter in weight than conventional high-voltage power supplies. When used in conjunction with a StrataTherm temperature controller,** the FeatherVolt 3000 power supply¹ allowed researchers to regulate gel temperature during electrophoresis by controlling voltage output. For the first time, sequencing gels could be run at constant temperatures to reduce band compressions. Since 1991, Stratagene has been awarded several patents¹ for the compact and lightweight design of the FeatherVolt power supplies and their innovative temperature regulation system.
