What voltage does it run at?

Most of the modern lab power supplies only start when they sense a
current being drawn hence if the current is too low they drop out. So
what you need is an old fashioned un-sensed power supply which is most
likely to be cheaper in the first place.

What about Biorad? Every so often they run promotions whereby you buy a
power supply and get a mini protean vertical (or similar) gel system
free, or visa versa. Again no good if the power supply on offer won't
handle low currents.
