The Accuris myVolt Mini Power Supply is the entry-tier electrophoresis power supply — providing 100 VDC or 200 VDC fixed output (operator-selectable) with two sets of output jacks for connecting 1 or 2 gel tanks in parallel. The myVolt Mini is engineered for routine electrophoresis workflows where the standard 100 V (slow / high-resolution) or 200 V (fast / standard-resolution) settings cover the workflow's voltage needs without requiring continuous-voltage adjustment.
Voltage options: This unit can be ordered with European voltage requirements (230V/50Hz). Contact us to order.

| Output voltage | 100 VDC or 200 VDC (2 fixed settings, operator-selectable) |
| Output jacks | 2 sets, wired in parallel (1 or 2 gel tanks) |

Output Voltage Selection
The myVolt Mini supports two fixed output voltage settings:
| Setting | Use case |
| 100 VDC | Standard-resolution electrophoresis runs; longer run times for higher band-resolution workflows; teaching-lab demonstrations where slower migration supports student observation |
| 200 VDC | Faster runs; rapid PCR-product screening; routine workflows where time-to-result matters more than resolution |
Two output jacks wired in parallel. Both output jacks deliver the same selected voltage simultaneously — connect 1 gel tank (one jack used) or 2 gel tanks (both jacks used, both tanks see the same voltage). Useful for parallel-run workflows where two gels run simultaneously on the same PSU.
When to Pick the myVolt Mini vs Higher-Tier Power Supplies
| Power supply | Output voltage range | Output jacks | Control | List price |
| E2100 myVolt Mini (this product) | 100 VDC or 200 VDC (fixed) | 2 (parallel) | Voltage selector | $273 |
| E2301 myVolt Touch | 10–300 VDC (1 V increments) | 4 pairs (parallel) | Capacitive touch screen, constant V / constant I modes | $697 |
Pick the myVolt Mini (E2100) when the workflow only needs the standard 100 V or 200 V settings, single or dual gel-tank parallel operation is sufficient, and budget-tier procurement is the priority — typical of teaching labs, low-throughput research labs, or field-deployment labs where the simpler workflow and lower cost outweigh the touch-screen and constant-current advantages.
Pick the myVolt Touch (E2301) when the workflow needs continuous-voltage control (e.g. 50 V long runs for high-resolution separation, 150 V intermediate-rate runs), constant-current mode matters for protocol reproducibility, up to 4 gel tanks run simultaneously from the 4-pair output, or touch-screen control is preferred for the operator workflow.
Application Profile
Routine electrophoresis power supply for myGel Mini and other compact mini-gel chassis — the myVolt Mini's 100 V / 200 V settings cover the standard mini-gel workflow voltage range.
Teaching laboratory PSU — undergraduate and graduate molecular-biology coursework benefits from the simple voltage-selector control (no protocol-programming complexity for student exercises).
Field-deployment workflows — environmental sampling, agricultural diagnostics, veterinary diagnostics labs benefit from the compact, simple PSU for field-electrophoresis workflows.
Backup / spare PSU for production labs — production electrophoresis labs benefit from a budget-tier spare PSU on hand for rotation when the primary higher-tier PSU is in service or maintenance.
Dual-tank parallel operation — labs running paired gels (control + experimental) benefit from the 2-output-jack parallel design.
Frequently Asked Questions
What output voltages does the myVolt Mini provide? Two fixed, operator-selectable settings: 100 VDC or 200 VDC.
How many gel tanks can the E2100 power at once? One or two — it has two output jacks wired in parallel, both delivering the same selected voltage.
When should I step up to the myVolt Touch (E2301)? When the workflow needs continuous-voltage control, constant-current mode for reproducibility, or up to four gel tanks running simultaneously.
Is the myVolt Mini suitable for clinical or diagnostic use? No — per the brochure it is for research only, not for medical, clinical, or diagnostic applications.
Ordering & Configuration
Compatibility with gel tank chassis. The myVolt Mini works with any gel tank that accepts banana-plug electrical leads at the standard electrophoresis lead protocol. Compatible with:
- myGel InstaView (E1200) — pair with the myVolt Mini for the modular gel-tank + PSU workflow
- myGel Mini (E1101) — though the myGel Mini has its own integrated PSU built in; the external myVolt Mini is for setups that bypass the integrated PSU
- Other mini-gel electrophoresis tanks with banana-plug input
Confirm at quote: voltage and plug type (this 115 V SKU vs the 230 V variant), gel-tank chassis pairing, workflow voltage needs (100 V / 200 V settings sufficient vs needing continuous control — step to E2301 if so), and lead time.
Warranty: Per Accuris standard warranty terms — confirm at quote.
Accuris myVolt power-supply family:
- E2100 (this product) — myVolt Mini 115 V (100 V / 200 V fixed, 2 outputs)
- myVolt Mini 230 V (by special order, same $273 price)
