What's in the Box

*
In addition to the C-DiGit Blot Scanner, you will find the items shown below (l-r): 1) Ethernet and
2) USB cables, 3) a power supply with interchangeable plugs, 4) a C-DiGit Target image, and 5)
Image Studio and Resource CDs.
The C-DiGit Target is a photosensitive card used to verify that your C-DiGit Blot Scanner is
functioning properly; the card is briefly exposed to room light and then imaged on the instrument.
If the acquired pattern matches the target image, the C-DiGit Blot Scanner is functioning as it
should, and is ready to image your sample. Instructions for using the Target are given below in the
Quick Start Tutorial on page 7. The Target should be stored in the blue envelope when not in use.

Placement in the Laboratory

The C-DiGit Blot Scanner weighs approximately 2.18 kg (4.8 lbs.). The instrument should be placed
on a level surface that is at a workable height for the user.

Ambient Laboratory Conditions

Place the C-DiGit Blot Scanner away from external heat sources (furnaces, windows, etc.).
Additional heating can cause high temperatures within the enclosure. Place the instrument away
from sinks or other sources of water that pose a shock hazard. Recommended operating conditions
are 15-30 °C and a dew point no greater than 25 °C to prevent condensation on the instrument.

Space Requirements

The C-DiGit Blot Scanner requires an area 27.94 cm L (11.0") x 22.23 cm W (8.75") x 7.3 cm H
(2.875", lid closed), or 31.12 cm, (12.25", lid open).
