yeah so i am running at constant voltage like 50V which gives me a current of upto 3mA but my run keeps terminating prematurely and i have to check on it every hour or so, each time i raise the voltage by 20V just to get it running again but the problem is i end up with frowning protein bands, like inverted smiles, not pretty at all... so i end up thinking the run was too rapid... i tried running at constant current but the bio-rad powerpack i am using will not go below 10mA when i set it manually and that shows a reading of like 500V!! i dont even want to imagine what sort of bands i will get at that. i see publications with really neat bands and i want bands like that, they use something like 30V for like 30 min then 80V for the rest of the run others use constant current something like 1.5mA for 15-17hrs all at 4 deg.C.
