Thermo Scientific Sorvall
CC40 Centrifuge Series
Our Sorvall ® CC40 centrifuge series is designed expressly to
purify large-volume samples such as vaccines. Depending
on the optional cores and sample feed systems selected, our
Sorvall CC40 centrifuges can be used to prepare density
gradients of viruses and liposomes (with or without a
preclarifier core), batch centrifugation of HBsAg, etc., and
even rough separation of large-volume samples for pelleting.
Our Sorvall CC40 centrifuge
series offers an easy, costeffective,
reliable and proven
solution for large-scale isolation
or purification of viruses and
proteins, offering:
• High-throughput batch processing
• Minimal footprint – no need for
separate air turbine compressor
provides location flexibility
• Quiet operation – 68 dB at 40,000 rpm
• Configuration flexibility with a
variety of rotors and accessories
including an optional sample feed
subsystem
• High speed and high centrifugal
force – maximum speed of 40,000
rpm and an RCF of up to 118,000 x g
to support a wide variety of
separation and density gradient
centrifugation applications
Microcomputer Control
Automatic microcomputer digital control simplifies
operation. The unit also provides a digital display of rotor
speed, time, temperature and vacuum state. During
operation, the operator needs only to periodically monitor
the control panel display and the sample flow.
Unattended Operation
High reliability and automatic error detection enable
unattended operation. If the power fails, a backup system
automatically maintains oil flow to the motor bearings.
Sorvall CC40 Centrifuge
Our Sorvall CC40 centrifuge is used expressly to purify large-volume
corpuscle samples such as vaccines. Its high performance is
defined by an 8.0 liter maximum capacity with batch centrifugation
(3.2 liter with continuous centrifugation), speeds of up to 40,000 rpm
and a maximum RCF of 118,000 x g.
Self-diagnosis
Our Sorvall CC40 centrifuge series has a self-diagnosis
function that generates an alarm and error code to
indicate the area of the abnormality in case of
operational error, allowing the operator to easily find and
correct the error.
Compliance with EMC Standards
Our Sorvall CC40 and CC40S centrifuges comply with
all relevant standards, including the European
Community standards for acoustic and electronic noise
emission and/or immunity, and carry the CE mark.

Sorvall CC40S Centrifuge
With approximately one-half the capacity of the
Sorvall CC40, our Sorvall CC40S centrifuge is ideal for
research, development and small-volume production
of pharmaceuticals. This model has a maximum
continuous-centrifugation capacity of 1.6 liters,
maximum speed of 40,000 rpm and maximum RCF of
118,000 x g. In addition, the sample-contacting parts
are made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel, which
corresponds to the U.S. FDA Current Good
Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) requirements, as a
special specification. The lift section of the main unit
is made of stainless steel that has superior
corrosion-resistance, to meet the needs of
pharmaceutical manufacturers.

NOTES
1. The C40CT4 rotor assembly, using Core (H) and Titanium core (H), is designed with 30% lower flow restriction compared
to the C40CT3 rotor assembly using the same cores. Which allows for a higher flow rate for viscous samples.
2. The Core (E) is not for continuous flow but for batch centrifuge operation.
