Statim 2000 autoclave
Practices where convenience and time are most important would do really well by investing in a cassette autoclave, like the Statim 2000 or Statim 5000. While generally higher in price than other chamber autoclaves, they make up for their size with great savings in sterilization time. The Statim 2000, for example, can finish sterilizing unwrapped instruments in as short as 6 minutes, while the Statim 5000 can finish an unwrapped cycle in 14.
The most common markets for these autoclaves are dental offices, eye surgeons, and dermatologists, although any practice that uses relatively smaller instruments will benefit.
Cassette autoclaves are also built a little differently. The cassette itself, once inserted into the unit, is fully sheathed in a thick layer of steel. This construction is integral to its functionality, but it also makes the unit quite heavy. Please be careful when moving these, and keep these in mind when getting price quotes for shipping!

Tuttnauer EZ10
Every FDA-approved autoclave we offer is rated to sterilize your equipment. The differences lie in the convenience features that the different manufacturers offer. Recently, we blogged about the Tuttnauer Valueklave. Today, we’ll be featuring the bigger and more convenient models.
Manual Tuttnauer autoclaves come in 9-inch (2340M) and 10-inch (2540M) models. Just like the Valueklave, these manual autoclaves require you to be present for when the steam cycle is over. You will have to open the door to start the dry cycle.
Tuttnauer’s autoclaves also come in automatic versions, the EZ9 and the EZ10. Aside from having an automatically controlled drying cycle and electronic controls for setting your sterilization procedures, the EZ series can be ordered with a built-in printer which will record temperature and pressure. Some jurisdictions and applications may require this.
Finally, the 10-inch autoclaves come with a “Kwik” option, which shortens the cycle time in exchange for a small additional cost. The EZ10K and the 2540MK will require a dedicated circuit that delivers 220 volts, but in a high-volume, production-based environment, these autoclaves save your office time, which does translate to money.
We hope that this short guide will help those interested in a Tuttnauer autoclave with choosing the right unit based on their needs.

Tuttnauer Valueklave
The Tuttnauer 1730 Valueklave is the autoclave to consider when you need to work within certain limits. Limited space? The Valueklave has a small footprint. Limited need for autoclaving due to occasional procedures? It is the smallest autoclave that features a circular chamber that can accommodate most small and medium instruments and glassware. Limited budget? It is the most affordable autoclave we have available that will meet sterilization requirements.
You might ask, “well, if it’s so cheap, what’s the catch?” Well, it’s not “cheap,” it’s “affordable.” There is no “catch,” but it does require some work on your part. Being that it is a manual autoclave, you will have to come back to the autoclave when the steam cycle is done, that way you can open the door for the drying cycle. That’s it!
