Many people think that by the price and the look of these autoclaves that they’re the same. But in this short article, we’re going to help you distinguish just how different they are. Autoclaves come in many forms in size, versatility and even price. And with all that variety it can be hard to decide on one specifically for your needs. So today we’re going to be comparing two of them, namely the Midmark M11 and the Tuttnauer EZ11Plus.
So here we will show you some of the specs to give you an idea of the difference in size and basic functionality.
Or if you’re a more visual learner, we have a video on this subject available here.
