I don't know if that is really a problem.
If you mean isolating from large current draws the bridge rectifier has a 1A max draw.
If you mean for something else it would not be very difficult or expensive(> $1.00) to add in two wire wrapped toroids to use as inductors to isolate from the mains.
It is a good idea though and I can totally throw that in. Thanks!

Nice gel!
An upgrade to this is to use a light dimmer for voltage control. Iirc, these kinds of solutions are sketchy because they I are not isolated from the mains, making it a bit hazardous.
Something like a switching power converter is safer and relatively cheap (40 bucks).

Using a bridge rectifier($0.30) one can basically use AC mains voltage to run your gel electrophoresis. You can buy all the components for under $5.You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DIYbio" group.
I tested it out and it works great. Can run a really good looking gel in around 30 minutes.
I made a blog post here about it:

Any questions let me know.
