We're trying to replace a big autoclave - 250 liter chamber; we need to get three quotes for admin to accept that we've done our diligence; we've got one from Steris, one from Tuttnauer, any suggestion on what company I should look into getting a third quote from?

  • “I personally would not recommend Zirbus for what it's worth. Nothing but trouble with their autoclave, I kind of felt inclined to charge the technician rent at this point...”

  • “We only have steris autoclaves. Service is contract too. Techs all live in the area. The people across the courtyard have some random brand. Their shit breaks all the time. No local service techs anywhere close.”
