Re: [DIYbio] Current and voltage reqs for electrophoresis power supply

I run at fixed current, 75V for 20-25 minutes (fresh, and larger gels)
and 50V for 35-45 minutes(older gels that were stored in 4C before
using).

you mention fixed current, but then quote voltage specs. That would mean you control for gel resistance everytime you make a gel.

Controlling for resistance would probably be more precise for getting even gel results between batches, rather just adding X grams or Y ml of electrolyte/buffer stock powder or solution, you would simply measure the resistance of the warm gel solution and titrate/drop in buffer stock until you reach your target. 

I reckon a multimeter with a bult-in ohmmeter is cheaper than a decigram/centigram scale (1/10th gram, 1/100th).
