Tuttnauer Autoclaves & Sterilizers
Tuttnauers are our best-selling sterilizers — and for several reasons. Tuttnauer sterilizers were originally made to handle laboratory work environments, and they just seem built sturdier than the competing sterilizers. For this reason, Tuttnauer automatic models also enjoy the longest warranties available in the industry, double the warranty offered by Ritter and Pelton & Crane: an unmatched 24-month parts and labor warranty. Our technicians (certified on all of the main sterilizer models) have also pointed out the reduced maintenance costs for Tuttnauer sterilizers, and how something like the not-uncommon repair they run into on Ritter M9's and M11's after a few years (where the steam, obviously traveling upward, damages the control panel they positioned directly above the door) is completely unheard of on the Tuttnauer automatics, which have their control panels located safely to the right, away from the direction the door even opens. And finally, Tuttnauer especially stands out as boasting the extremely convenient (and extremely beneficial) HEPA air-filtered closed-door drying cycle (available in the EZ9, EZ10, EZ10K, Elara 11, and 3870EA automatic models), which enables you to elect to have your instruments finish up completely dry, in a closed, sterile chamber, unexposed to outside air — very helpful if you just want to set it and forget it.

Mid-Size Flash Sterilizers (Faster 220-volt Versions)
10" x 19" Chambers
Tuttnauer 2540MK Manual "Kwiklave" Sterilizer
and
Tuttnauer EZ10K Automatic "Kwiklave" Autoclave
Best Fit: If speed is important, and rapid turn-over, these models will give you a 9-12 minute average cycle, even with the larger 10" chamber size and four 6.7" x 16.3" trays. The actual electrical hook-up, while 220V, is easy enough for an electrician to set up for you -- and worth the extra step if getting your instruments through quickly is critical to your workflow. Your other option here is whether to go with the manual 2540MK or the automatic EZ10K. Both have the same chamber dimensions, the same trays, the same cycle times. But with the automatic EZ10K, you also have programmability, and more importantly, closed-door drying. So where with the 2540MK, you need to open the door yourself at the end of the cycle and let the last of the steam out and remove the instruments to dry ... with the Tuttnauer EZ10K, you have the very convenient option of allowing the system to run its closed-door HEPA air-filtered drying cycle — so your instruments remain in a closed, sterile chamber, dry, until you are ready to remove them.

Large-Size Manual and Automatic Sterilizers (220-volt)
15" x 30" Chambers
Tuttnauer 3870M Manual & 3870EA Automatic Autoclaves
Best Fit: If you need a large-chambered autoclave, this is as large as you can go before stepping into the very expensive hospital/industrial category. With a 15" chamber and two trays (one 11.3" x 26.6", the other 13.8" x 26.6"), capacity for 15 full-sized cassettes, and an average cycle time of about 45 minutes, the Tuttnauer 3870 is the biggest system we carry. It comes with an optional stand, enabling you to free up counterspace if you like. The manual version is a conventional sterilizer, whereas the automatic model is programmable, has closed-door drying, and can come with a built-in printer for recording cycle data. This is one of our best-sellers for large offices or surgery suites, as well as for hospitals and universities.
