Flow Cytometer Leasing for Labs

Lease the flow cytometer that fits your workflow. Analyze cells with precision without tying up your budget.

What Is a Flow Cytometer?

A flow cytometer is used to rapidly analyze the physical and chemical properties of individual cells in suspension. It’s commonly applied in immunology, oncology, and stem cell research. The technique supports high-throughput, multiparametric analysis across research, diagnostics, and cell therapy development.

Why Lease a Flow Cytometer?

Flow cytometers are essential for multiparametric cell analysis, but buying one outright—especially with high-throughput capabilities, multiple lasers, or sorting modules—can be cost-prohibitive and difficult to scale.

Leasing offers a flexible alternative that reduces upfront cost and shortens procurement timelines. It’s ideal for core facilities upgrading instrumentation, research teams expanding into high-parameter analysis, or organizations adapting to fast-changing assay needs.

Where Leasing a Flow Cytometer Adds Value

Leasing is especially helpful when:

  • You’re building or expanding a cytometry core — Leasing gives you access to advanced multi-laser or sorting instruments without a major capital request.
  • You need to scale high-parameter panels quickly — Avoid long procurement cycles and upgrade as assay complexity increases.
  • You want to preserve budget for consumables or downstream systems — Lease the cytometer you need now while freeing funds for reagents, software, or staffing.

Whether you're supporting translational research or running daily immune profiling assays, leasing keeps your lab flexible, fast, and financially efficient.

Helping Scientists Scale & Succeed

"We used Excedr when it was time for us to make a large capital equipment purchase and the whole leasing process was smooth, quick, and seamless.

As a busy start-up CEO, I am always aware of how important it is to keep our science progressing while on a tight budget.

Working with Excedr made it possible for us to accelerate our scientific discovery pipeline without a large outlay of capital."

"Building a biotech is a lot of work. Excedr has been a dynamite partner in making that scaling happen.

They were a great partner when scaling Distributed Bio from an 8 member lab team to 35 members by the time of acquisition. When I started Centivax, Jon was one of the first people I called.

I recommend them for any biotech startup."

"Securing top-tier lab equipment while managing cash flow is a constant challenge. Excedr has been an invaluable partner in helping KiraGen Bio access the high-quality instrumentation we need without the heavy upfront costs.

Their flexible leasing options and outstanding support allow us to focus on advancing our research rather than worrying about equipment procurement and maintenance. For any biotech startup looking to scale efficiently, I can’t recommend Excedr enough."

Aaron Edwards

Co-Founder & CEO, KiraGen Bio

"Excedr helped us to finance a BLI system about a year ago. Sylvia did an excellent job at helping us to understand our options, since our company was new to equipment financing.

The leasing process was fast and easy when compared with self-funding our purchase, plus the speed and ease with which Excedr onboarded us freed up our team’s time to focus on research and grant management.
