1 Introduction
1 The Centrifuges 5804 / 5810 are non-refrigerated bench-top centrifuges and the Centrifuges 5804 R / 5810 R are
refrigerated bench-top centrifuges. The 5804 / 5804 R models have a maximum capacity of 400 ml and the
5810 / 5810 R models have a maximum capacity of 1600 ml. All centrifuges are intended for use in research and
routine laboratories in the biosciences and in the fields of medicine and research.
Introduction

This sign is found on your centrifuge and on several pages in the operating manual.
Texts labeled with this sign contain safety notes. Read these safety precautions before using the
centrifuge for the first time.
Before starting up the Centrifuges 5804 / 5810 and 5804 R / 5810 R for the first time, please read the instruction
manual.

1.1 Delivery package

1 Centrifuge 5804 / 5810 with fan cooling or 1 refrigerated Centrifuge 5804 R / 5810 R (rotor not included with
centrifuges)
1 Main power cable (European standard plug)
1 Instruction manual
1 Rotor key

1.2 Unpack

When the machines are removed from the packaging, they must be supported by two persons near the rubber feet at the
bottom on the left- and right-hand side and then carried the short distance to the lab bench. Please observe the weight-
bearing capacity of the bench. If the machines are to be transported over long distances in the lab, a trolley must be
used.

1.3 Installing the device

For 5804 R and 5810 R only: To avoid damage to the compressor caused by incorrect transportation,
wait four hours after installation before switching on the device.
To disconnect the centrifuge from the power supply in the event of an error, an emergency switch must be installed away
from the centrifuge, preferably outside the centrifugation room or next to the exit of this room.
– Place the centrifuge onto a horizontal, stable and resonance-free work surface.
– Ensure that the working environment is well-ventilated and not exposed to direct sunlight.
– There should be 15 cm clearance at the sides of the centrifuge and 10 cm to the rear.
– According to the regulations of the EN 61010-2-020 standard, a safety distance of 30 cm must be observed around
the centrifuge during operation. No objects which cause damage when destroyed must be positioned in this space.
– Before plugging in the centrifuge, compare your power supply with the electrical requirements listed on the identifica-
tion plate.
The mains cable of the centrifuge may be connected only to a socket with a protective conductor.
– On refrigerated centrifuges 5804 R and 5810 R with a mains voltage of 120 V, a distinction is made between two
versions depending on requirements: the 15 A variant is equipped with a conventional IEC power cable (see Fig. 3) so
that these devices can be operated directly at the lab work-station using a conventional socket (120 V, 15 A).
However, this causes a drop in the cooling performance of this kind of device. This technical specification leads to a
rise in the lowest temperature which can be reached at maximum speed and to slower cooling down to the specified
value.

Introduction
Fig. 3: 15 A IEC power cable Fig. 4: 20 A standard variant

On the 20 A standard variant, by contrast, the power cable is permanently attached to the device (see Fig. 4). These
devices have a special 20 A plug and require the appropriate socket to guarantee the supply of current and voltage
required for the centrifuges (120 V, 20 A). The advantage is greater, more rapid cooling.
– To switch on the centrifuge, press the mains switch (on the right-hand side of the device). The nominal values of the
test run appear in the display and the control lamp in the Open key lights up.
– The centrifuge lid can be opened by pressing the Open key.
Please insert the rotor before starting and tighten it with the supplied rotor key.
The rotors A-4-81 and A-4-81-MTP are tightened with the special rotor key included in the rotor delivery package.

2 Safety regulations and applicational limitations

2 In the interests of your own personal safety, always observe the following regulations:
The rotor and the rotor cover must always be securely fastened.
Do not begin centrifugation before the rotor has been securely fastened.
Safety regulations and applicational limitations

The rotor must be loaded symmetrically. Opposing tubes should be of the same type and should be filled equally.
For reasons of mechanical stabilization, all positions of rotor A-4-44 and A-4-62 / A-4-62-MTP must be loaded with
buckets of the same type.
Prior to centrifugation, the tubes should in any case be visually inspected for material damage. Damaged tubes may not
be centrifuged. This is because broken tubes can, in addition to sample loss, result in further damage to the centrifuge
and accessories.
Do not use buckets and rotors which show clear signs of corrosion or mechanical defects. Please check accessories at
regular intervals.
Do not operate centrifuges which have not been correctly installed or repaired.
Do not move or knock against the centrifuge during operation.
Repairs must only be performed by an Eppendorf authorized service technician.
Only use original rotors and spare parts recommended by Eppendorf.
The Centrifuges 5804 / 5810 and 5804 R / 5810 R may only be used for special applications. They must not be operated
in a hazardous or flammable environment and must not be used to centrifuge explosive or highly reactive substances.
If such liquids are spilled in the rotor or rotor chamber, the centrifuge must be cleaned with a moist cloth and a mild soap
solution.
A liquid density of 1.2 g/ccm must not be exceeded at the maximum rotational speed.
During longer spin times in the 5804 / 5810 models, the sample tubes may heat up. Observe the limiting data specified
by the tube manufacturer.
The use of organic solvents (e.g. chloroform) may have an adverse effect on the stability of plastic test tubes.
Following operation in a cooling room, run the centrifuge for 30 minutes in the cooling room until it is warm. Alternatively,
allow it to warm up in a lab for at least three hours, but do not plug in the centrifuge in order to prevent damage caused
by condensation.
Rotors are high-grade components which are subject to extreme mechanical strain. Aluminium rotors are protected
against corrosion caused by commonly-used laboratory chemicals by means of an electrolytic coating, although this
protection cannot be fully guaranteed.
Please ensure that the rotor is protected from mechanical damage. Even slight scratches and cracks can cause severe
inner damage to the rotor materials, which are difficult or impossible to detect with the eye.
Please avoid using aggressive chemicals with the rotors. Such chemicals include concentrated and mild alkalis,
concentrated acids, solutions containing mercury ions, copper ions and other heavy-metal ions, chlorinated
hydrocarbons and concentrated saline solutions.
When handling toxic or radioactive liquids or pathogenic bacteria out of Risk Group II (see World Health Organization:
"Laboratory Biosafety Manual"), observe national regulations.
In the event of contamination caused by impurities or aggressive agents, the rotor must be cleaned immediately using a
neutral cleaning liquid. This is particularly important for the bores of the fixed-angle rotor and for the buckets.
Please clean your rotor regularly using a neutral cleaning liquid (e.g. Extran® neutral or RBS neutral). This will protect the
rotor and prolong its service life.
According to EN 55011, the centrifuges 5804/5804 R and 5810/5810 R are Class A products. Interference with
signal reception can occur in residential areas. The operator should take appropriate protective measures.

"Buckets" include buckets and titer plate buckets.

3.2 Mounting / dismounting the rotors

A summary of the various different rotors can be found in the brochure.

Clean the motor axle and the rotor bores with a cloth before attaching the rotor.
– When fastening / loosening the rotor onto / from the motor axle, ensure that the temperature of the rotor and the
motor axle is between 10 °C and 30 °C.
– Mount the rotor onto the motor axle and tighten the rotor nut by turning clockwise using the appropriate rotor key
supplied.
– To dismount the rotor, turn the rotor nut counterclockwise using the rotor key.
– When the rotors are not in the centrifuge, please place them in the rotor stand (Order no. 5804 720.008).
– Do not centrifuge using rotors and buckets with visible corrosion or mechanical defects (see Chapter 2: Safety regu-
lations and applicational limitations ).
The Centrifuges 5804 / 5810 and 5804 R / 5810 R have automatic rotational speed limitation.

3.3 Rotor lid F-45-30-11

The non-aerosol-tight rotor lid of the rotor F-45-30-11 is attached by pressing the lid onto the rotor. The rotor lid need not
be screwed tight.

3.4 Loading the rotors

The rotors and buckets must always be loaded symmetrically. The adapters may only be loaded with the test tubes
recommended.
Differences in the weight of the filled sample tubes should be kept as low as possible in order to prolong the life-time of
the drive and to minimize running noises caused by imbalance.
On each rotor you will find information concerning the maximum weight of a completely loaded bucket (bucket
including adapter, tubes and liquid or titer plate buckets including titer plate and liquid) (see also applicational
limitations).

may be used.
Please check whether all buckets have been inserted correctly and can swing freely.
For purposes of mechanical stabilization, all positions of the rotors A-4-44 and A4-62 / A-4-62-MTP must be loaded with
the same buckets. In contrast, the rotor A-4-81 / A-4-81-MTP can be equipped with a mix of rectangular buckets and
titer plate buckets. It is in principle not permitted to use swing-bucket rotors with only two rectangular buckets or titer
plate buckets inserted.

Fig. 5: Rotor A-4-81-MTP symmetrically Fig. 6: Not allowed, because the pegs are not evenly
loaded loades, rotor is asymmetrically loades

The rectangular buckets are sorted according to weight. The weight category is printed on the side in the groove:
e.g. 86 (the last two places in grammes). Opposing buckets should be of the same weight category. When placing
follow-up orders, please state the weight category. This also applies to titer plate buckets.
Ensure that the grooves are clean before inserting the buckets. Unclean grooves and pivots prevent the buckets from
swinging freely.
When working with a rotor which is not completely loaded, position the tubes within the buckets in such a way that the
rotor pivots are stressed evenly.

Fig. 7: Rotor is symmetrically loaded Fig. 8: Not permitted: pivots are not stressed
evenly, rotor is not symmetrically loaded

A manual swing test with empty tubes must be carried out if oversized tubes
(i.e. longer than 100 mm) are used.

temp temperature is quickly attained in the rotor by cooling. FT appears in the PROG field. The run is then
ended automatically at the arrived at nominal temperature or by pressing the Stop key. A signal can be
heard at regular intervals.
The centrifuge does not terminate the run until the rotor, carrier or rectangular bucket have reached the
pre-selected temperature. The target temperature is initially measured on the chamber and then shown in
the display. However, the temperature run is automatically terminated when the rotor, carrier or rectangular
bucket have reached the target temperature.

Standby- When the lid is closed, the rotor chamber is refrigerated to the preselected nominal temperature before or
refrigeration after a run, as long as this value is below ambient temperature. The rotor does not turn during this
procedure and the temperature changes more slowly.
If the centrifuge is not used for longer than 8 hours, or if the lid is not opened for this time, the refrigeration
function switches off for safety reasons. Standby off appears in the display, together with the nominal
temperature in the rotor chamber. The desired temperature can be reached rapidly via the Fast Temp
function.
The standby cooling of the centrifuge can also be switched on permanently. To do this the Temp and Prog
keys must be pressed simultaneously. Standby 8h appears in the display. Following this, the Fast temp
must be pressed immediately in order to switch the standby cooling over into permanent operation.

4.1 Device

The outside of the centrifuge and the rotor chamber should be cleaned regularly with neutral
detergent. This is for hygiene purposes as well as to prevent contamination caused by residual
Maintenance and cleaning

contamination.
The user is responsible for cleaning or decontaminating the centrifuge in the event of contamination caused
by high-risk substances.
Open the lid of the centrifuge and disconnect the main power plug. Unscrew the rotor with the rotor key provided and
clean separately. Only neutral agents may be used for cleaning and disinfection (e.g. diluted Extran® neutral, RBS
neutral or 70 % isopropanol/water mixture or an alcohol-based disinfectant). The rotor chamber should only be cleaned
with a moist cloth.
After cleaning with detergent, the rubber seals in the rotor chamber should be rinsed well with water and lubricated with
glycerine in order to prevent the seals from becoming brittle.
If condensation water forms in the rotor chamber after freezing occurs, dry with a soft absorbent cloth.
The user must consult the manufacturer before cleaning or decontaminating the centrifuge using methods not
recommended by the manufacturer in order to ensure that the centrifuge and accessories are not damaged. To ensure
that the centrifuge functions correctly and safely in the long-term, please note that aggressive chemicals can damage the
rotor, buckets and boiler. Please check the centrifuge regularly for damage caused by corrosion.

4.2 The rotors

The rotor and buckets must be cleaned regularly to prevent contamination caused by residue. Check at least the rotor
and housing monthly for residue and corrosion. This applies in particular to the rotor bores. Please clean your rotor using
a neutral cleaning liquid. This will protect the rotor and prolong its service life. As a reminder, the message "clean rotor"
appears in the display of the centrifuge three times after every 200 runs.
When using the swing-bucket rotor, ensure that the grooves in which the buckets are fitted are free of contamination. The
buckets can be lubricated with the lubricant (grease for pivots) supplied, although care must be taken to ensure that the
buckets can still swing freely.

4.3 The aerosol-tight rotor

The sealing rings of the aerosol-tight rotor FA-45-30-11 are subject to natural wear and tear and should be replaced
regularly if damaged. To protect the rotor, please ensure that the sealing rings are maintained regularly.
When handling the rotor lid, please observe the specifications regarding the chemical resistance of the materials of
construction.
The cover of the aerosol-tight rotor must not be fastened tightly during storage!

4.4 Rotor sterilization

All rotors are autoclavable (121 °C, 20 min).

After the rotor has been autoclaved ten times, the lids of the aerosol-tight buckets or rotors must be exchanged.
The aerosol-tight Rotor FA-45-30-11 and the lid can be autoclaved at 142 °C for 2 hours to destroy prions, but the
aerosol-tight lid must be exchanged after each autoclaving.

4.5 Glass breakage

When centrifuging glass tubes, please observe that high speeds/rcf’s increase the risk of glass breakage. Please follow
the manufacturer’s instructions concerning the maximum speed/rcf of centrifuge tubes. In the event of glass breakage,

Maintenance and cleaning

carefully remove all splinters and all ground glass from the rotor, the buckets, the adapters and the rotor chamber. You
may need to replace the rubber mats and adapters to prevent further damage.
Fine splinters of glass may otherwise scratch the surface of the rotors and buckets, reducing their resistance to
chemicals. The air turbulences within the rotor chamber produce a very fine black powder of abraded metal. In addition
to causing damage to the rotor chamber, rotor, buckets and adapters, the powder also contaminates the samples.
Check the rotor bores regularly for residues and damage.

4.6 Refrigerated centrifuges

Clean the refrigeration mesh of the heat exchanger (on the rear side of the device) with a brush at least twice a year.
Be sure to first switch off the centrifuge and pull the plug.
Switch off the centrifuge after use, leave the lid open and empty the tray for condensation water, situated below the
device on the front right-hand side.

4.7 Return of devices

When returning centrifuges, please ensure that the devices have been decontaminated and thereby do not present a
health risk to our Service staff.
You will find additional information and a blank of the decontamination confirmation at www.eppendorf.com.
Do also consult your laboratory safety officer about a suitable decontamination method.
Please fill out the decontamination confirmation and place it together with the device when it is to be sent back to
Eppendorf.
