Do I need to use PowerEase Touch HV Power Supply Adapters with the PowerEase Touch HV Power Supply even if I have Invitrogen gel tanks?
The PowerEase Touch HV Power Supply Adapters are designed to facilitate the connection of some electrophoresis tanks to the PowerEase Touch HV Power Supply. The adapters are designed to remain on the electrophoresis tank electrical leads when the lid is removed from the power supply. The supported electrophoresis tanks include:
- ZOOM IPGRunner Mini-cell
- XCell SureLock Mini-Cell
- Mini Gel Tank
- XCell4 SureLock Midi-Cell
Note: The PowerEase Touch HV Power Supply Adapters are not needed for use of the SureLock Tandem Midi Gel Tank with the PowerEase Touch HV Power Supply.

Why does the PowerEase Touch HV Power Supply come with power supply adapters?
For safety purposes, the output jacks of the PowerEase Touch HV Power Supply have been recessed compared to other PowerEase Touch power supplies. This requires a firm elongation of the leads on the cables of the tank and this is achieved using the power supply adapters that are provided. The adapters are designed to remain on the electrophoresis tank electrical leads when the lid is removed from the power supply.
