Tuttnauer 66C Autoclave Installation at University of Calgary Faculty of Veterinary Medicine

Alpha Scientific recently completed the installation of a new Tuttnauer 66C autoclave at the University of Calgary’s Faculty of Veterinary Medicine — complete with a reverse-osmosis (RO) water system and dedicated loading cart.

Large-chamber sterilizers like the 66C are a big step up from tabletop units. For a veterinary teaching and research facility, chamber capacity, cycle documentation, and water quality all matter — which is why the project included purified feed water and a cart for safe loading and unloading.

What’s in the install

• Tuttnauer 66C autoclave — floor-standing sterilizer for high-throughput veterinary and lab workflows
• RO water system — cleaner feed water to protect the chamber, heating system, and long-term performance
• Loading cart — safer, more efficient handling of heavy loads in and out of the chamber

From delivery to ready for service

The unit arrived palletized and protected for transport, then was positioned in its dedicated room under a stainless exhaust canopy.

Alongside the sterilizer, the RO tanks and copper piping were set for purified water supply, and the loading cart staged for day-to-day use.

As an authorized Tuttnauer dealer with factory-trained technicians, Alpha Scientific handles more than the drop-off: delivery, positioning, connection support, and the service relationship that keeps sterilizers reliable after install day.

Why facilities choose a full system — not just the autoclave

An autoclave is only as good as its utilities and handling. Poor water quality shortens component life. Awkward loading slows the day and raises injury risk. Pairing the 66C with RO water and a proper cart is how teaching hospitals and research labs keep sterilization capacity high without constant downtime.
