Calorimeter Leasing for Labs
Measure heat flow and reaction energy—without tying up your budget. Lease the calorimeter that fits your workflow.
What Is a Calorimeter?
Calorimeters measure the heat released or absorbed during chemical and physical processes. They’re used across R&D and QA/QC workflows to study reaction thermodynamics, stability, and material behavior.

Why Lease a Calorimeter?
Calorimeters are critical for formulation development, process optimization, and product testing—especially in pharmaceuticals, biotech, and materials science. But acquiring a high-sensitivity system can be costly and inflexible, particularly for growing teams or early-stage labs.
Leasing helps you access the tools you need without sacrificing runway or long-term capital. Instead of tying up budget in a depreciating asset, you can redirect those funds toward R&D, hiring, or validation efforts.
Where Leasing a Calorimeter Adds Value
Calorimeters are critical for studying reaction thermodynamics, stability, and heat capacity in chemistry, materials science, pharma, and food science. But systems like differential scanning calorimeters (DSC), isothermal titration calorimeters (ITC), and bomb calorimeters can require substantial upfront investment—especially when advanced automation or sensitivity is needed.
Leasing can make a significant impact when:
- You're scaling R&D or QA and need precise thermal data without diverting capital from core research.
- Your team requires specialized calorimetry but wants to stay agile with system upgrades.
- You're outfitting a new lab or expanding capabilities and need to keep startup costs under control.
With leasing, you get the data you need to understand material and reaction behavior—while keeping capital free for innovation.

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."
Jessica Grossman
CEO, IgGenix
"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."
Jacob Glanville
CEO & President, Centivax
"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.

General Counsel & VP Operations, Zab Bio
“The lease of our Zeiss EVO10 electron microscope has significantly impacted our outside analysis costs, realizing a significant savings in the 1st year.
Having the instrument on-site has greatly improved our response times to field issues and fabrication challenges, while improving our Engineering and Production Teams' overall understanding of our product lines."
