C-DiGit
Blot Scanner
Safety Considerations
Chemical Safety
LI-COR Biosciences recommends that all chemicals be handled carefully, and that safe laboratory
procedures be followed at all times. Be aware of the hazards associated with any chemical before you
begin work.
WARNING: The C-DiGit Blot Scanner should not be used with any radioactive materials.
Electrical Considerations
The C-DiGit Blot Scanner includes a power supply that plugs into a wall outlet, with an output that
plugs into the C-DiGit instrument.
Do not locate the C-DiGit Blot Scanner where the power supply cord will be walked on or exposed
to water or chemical spills.
The C-DiGit Blot Scanner draws a maximum of 1 ampere at 120V (see Specifications on page 33). If
a power strip or surge protector is used, make sure the total of the ampere ratings on the
instruments plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating. Also
make sure the total amperage of instruments plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the
amperage capacity for the outlet (usually 15 or 20 amperes in the United States).
