Introduction

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).

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 Appendix A
for complete specifications). 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).
