It is usually more effective to run gels at constant current, 10-20 mA
per small (8x6 cm^2) gel. You may also use a cooled system, e.g.,
Hoefer.
Other than that, keep conductivity as low as possible. Some heating is,
however, inevitable. If you run a gel at 20 mA, the voltage will
increase during the run from 60 to 200 V, that's up to 4 W powered into
some 2 ml gel volume for 1 h or so.
