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 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:
