1. Introduction and 2. Safety information 1. Introduction ® MultiTemp III circulates constant temperature liquid to external electrophoresis equipment. The liquid temperature range is -10 to +90 °C. The unit contains KLEA 134a*, an ozone friendly HFC-type coolant. MultiTemp III both supplies coolant for high voltage techni- ques and provides temperature control at higher temperature (e.g. 60 °C) when performing DNA sequencing. When used ® with equipment such as the Pharmacia Biotech Multiphor
