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.
Clean the scanning surface with 100% methanol, then water.
CAUTION: DO NOT use acetone to clean the imaging surface.
Wipe all chemical spills from the case and scanning surface to prevent damage
to the surface coating.
Keep the scanning surface free of harsh solvents and and other combustibles.
Dry thoroughly before use.
Inspect all cables and power cords for evidence of fraying, exposed wire, or
loose connections.
Do not allow sample or sample covering to extend past the imaging surface.
This can prevent the instrument from operating properly by allowing light to
enter the scan area.
