Preface

Before starting to use the centrifuge, read through this instruction manual carefully and follow the

instructions.

The information contained in this instruction manual is the property of Thermo Fisher Scientific; it is

forbidden to copy or pass on this information without explicit approval.

Failure to follow the instructions and safety information in this instruction manual will result in the

expiration of the sellers warranty.

Scope of Supply

If any parts are missing, please contact your nearest Thermo Fisher Scientific representative.

Intended Use

•This centrifuge is an IVD accessory, and therefore subject to the Directive 98/79/EC of the

European Parliament and the Council of October 27, 1998 on in vitro diagnostic medical devices.

•This centrifuge is a laboratory product designed to separate components by generation of Relative

Centrifugal Force. It separates human samples (e.g. blood, urine and other body fluids) collected

in appropriate containers, either alone or after addition of reagents or other additives.

•As general-purpose centrifuge, it is designed to also run other containers filled with chemicals,

environmental samples and other non-human body samples.

•This centrifuge should be operated by trained specialists only.

Accident Prevention

Prerequisite for the safe operation of the Sorvall ST40 / 40R is a work environment in compliance with

standards, directives and trade association safety regulations and proper instruction of the user.

The safety regulations contain the following basic recommendations:

•Maintain a radius of at least 30 cm around the centrifuge.

•Implementation of special measures which ensure that no one can approach the centrifuge for

longer than absolutely necessary while it is running.

•The mains plug must be freely accessible at all times. Pull out the power supply plug or disconnect

the power supply in an emergency.

Precautions

In order to ensure safe operation of the Sorvall ST40 / 40R, the following general safety regulations

must be followed:

•Do not manipulate the safety devices.

•The centrifuge should be operated by trained specialists only.

•The centrifuge is to be used for its intended use only.

•Plug the centrifuge only into sockets which have been properly grounded.

•Do not move the centrifuge while it is running.

•Do not lean on the centrifuge.

•Use only rotors and accessories for this centrifuge which have been approved by Thermo Fisher

Scientific. Exceptions to this rule are commercially available glass or plastic centrifuge tubes,

provided they have been approved for the speed or the RCF value of the rotor.

•Do not use rotors which show any signs of corrosion and/or cracks.

•Do not touch the mechanical components of the rotor and do not make any changes to the

mechanical components.

•Use only with rotors which have been properly installed. Follow the instructions on the Autolock

in section “Rotor Installation” on page 4-2.

•Use only with rotors which have been loaded properly. Follow the instructions given in the rotor

manual.

•Never overload the rotor. Follow the instructions given in the rotor manual.

•Never start the centrifuge when the lid is open.

•Never open the lid until the rotor has come to a complete stop and this has been confirmed in the

display.

Preface

Thermo Scientific ST40 / 40R v

•The lid emergency release may be used in emergencies only to recover the samples from the

centrifuge, e.g. during a power failure (see section “Mechanical Emergency Door Release” on

page 7-2).

•Never use the centrifuge if parts of its cover panels are damaged or missing.

•Do not touch the electronic components of the centrifuge or alter any electronic or mechanical

components.

•Please observe the safety instructions.

Please pay particular attention to the following aspects:

•Location: well-ventilated environment, set-up on a level and rigid surface with adequate

load-bearing capacity.

•Rotor installation: make sure the rotor is locked properly into place before operating the

centrifuge.

•Especially when working with corrosive samples (salt solutions, acids, bases), the accessory parts

and vessel have to be cleaned carefully.

•Always balance the samples.

Centrifuging hazardous substances:

•Do not centrifuge explosive or flammable materials or substances which could react violently with

one another.

•The centrifuge is neither inert nor protected against explosion. Never use the centrifuge in an

explosion-prone environment.

•Do not centrifuge inflammable substances.

•Do not centrifuge toxic or radioactive materials or any pathogenic micro-organisms without

suitable safety precautions.

When centrifuging microbiological samples from the Risk Group II (according to the Bio-safety

Manual" of the World Health Organization WHO), aerosol-tight biological seals have to be used.

For materials in a higher risk group, extra safety measures have to be taken.

•If toxins or pathogenic substances have gotten into the centrifuge or its parts, appropriate

disinfection measures have to be taken (see “Disinfection” on page 6-3).

•Highly corrosive substances which can cause material damage and impair the mechanical stability

of the rotor, should only be centrifuged in corresponding protective tubes.

IF A HAZARDOUS SITUATION OCCURS, TURN OFF THE POWER SUPPLY TO THE

CENTRIFUGE AND LEAVE THE AREA IMMEDIATELY.

Intended Use

The centrifuge is to be used for separating materials of different density or particle size suspended in a

liquid.

Maximum sample density at maximum speed: 1,2 g
