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

• Especially when working with corrosive samples (salt solutions, acids, bases), the accessory parts
and vessel have to be cleaned carefully.
Preface
• 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.

Introduction and Description
Characteristics
Characteristics
The Sorvall ST40 / 40R is an in-vitro diagnostics device according to the In-Vitro Diagnostics
Directive 98/79/EC.
Several rotors with a wide range of tubes can be used.
The set speed is reached within seconds. The maintenance-free induction motor ensures quiet and
low-vibration operation even at high speeds, and guarantees a very long lifetime.
The user-friendly control panel makes it easy to pre-set the speed, RCF value, running time,
temperature, and running profile (acceleration and braking curves). You can choose between the
display of speed and RCF or the entry mode.
These settings can be changed even while the centrifuge is running.
With the help of the PULSE key , you can also centrifuge a sample for just a few seconds, if called
for.
The Sorvall ST40 / 40R is equipped with various safety features:
• The housing and rotor chamber consist of steel plate, the interior of armour steel, while the front
panel is made of high-impact resistant plastic.
• The lid is equipped with a view port and a lock.
• The lid of the centrifuge can only be opened while the centrifuge is switched on and the rotor has
come to a complete stop. The centrifuge cannot be started until the lid has been closed properly.
• The integrated rotor detection systems ensures that no inadmissible speed settings can be
preselected.
• Electronic imbalance recognition
• Lid emergency release: For emergencies only, e.g. during power failures (see “Mechanical
Emergency Door Release” on page 7-2)

Operation
Entering Parameters
Explanation of RCF Value
The relative centrifugal force is given as a multiple of the force of gravity g. It is a unitless numerical
value which is used to compare the separation or sedimentation capacity of various devices, since it
is independent of the type of device. Only the centrifuging radius and the speed come into play in
it:
2
n
RCF 11 18,
r = centrifuging radius in cm
n = Rotational speed in rpm
The maximum RCF value is related to the maximum radius of the tube opening.
Remember that this value is reduced depending on the tubes and adapters used.
This can be accounted for in the calculation above if required.
