Maintenance
The C-DiGit Blot Scanner requires only minimal maintenance. However, as with any equipment
utilizing electrical power, there is a danger of fire or electrical shock if the equipment is not
properly maintained.
Disconnect power before servicing. LI-COR Biosciences recommends that you routinely inspect the
system. The following are some general maintenance guidelines:
Clean the exterior case parts with warm water and a damp cloth.
l
Clean the scanning surface with 100% methanol, then water.
l
CAUTION: DO NOT use acetone to clean the imaging surface.
l
Wipe all chemical spills from the case and scanning surface to prevent damage to the surface coat-
l
ing.
Keep the scanning surface free of harsh solvents and and other combustibles. Dry thoroughly
l
before use.
Inspect all cables and power cords for evidence of fraying, exposed wire, or loose connections.
l
Do not allow sample or sample covering to extend past the imaging surface. This can prevent the
l
instrument from operating properly by allowing light to enter the scan area.
