- | Either your programmed parameters are not equal to those described or the resistance of your electrophoresis unit is different (see above). It cannot be due to e.g. an other model of power supply as the relations between Voltage, Current, Power and Resistance are monitored in the same way by any instrument (the electrical laws cannot be disregarded!). | + | Either your programmed parameters are not equal to those described or the resistance of your electrophoresis unit is different (see above). |
