Where Do I Find Information about my Centrifuge?
This manual covers multiple Thermo Scientific Sorvall X Pro / ST Plus Series centrifuge models.
You can identify your centrifuge model by gathering two items of information:
the product series from the front panel—for example, Thermo Scientific Sorvall X Pro Series
the product number and product name from the nameplate—for example, “75009920” and “Thermo
Scientific Sorvall X4R Pro” as shown in
“List of Thermo Scientific Centrifuges” on page xi.
Intended Use
Intended Use for Laboratory Use Centrifuges
This centrifuge is designed to separate sample mixtures of different densities like chemicals, environmental
samples and other non-human body samples.
Intended Use for IVD Centrifuges
This centrifuge can be used as IVD (In vitro diagnostic) laboratory equipment if used together with IVD tubes and
IVD diagnostic analysis systems.
The centrifuge separates human blood. Blood is used in numerous diagnostic tests such as hematological
screening (e.g. measurment of free hemoglobulin), immunological screening (e.g. measurement of thrombocytes
levels), cardio-vascular system assessment (e.g. analysis of potassium level).
