Mass Spectrometer Leasing for Labs
Analyze molecular composition and structure—without tying up your budget. Lease the mass spectrometer that fits your workflow.
What Is Mass Spectrometry?
Mass spectrometry identifies and quantifies compounds by measuring the mass-to-charge ratio of ions. It’s a foundational technique in proteomics, metabolomics, drug development, and environmental testing. MS is used to detect trace-level analytes, characterize molecular structures, and support regulatory submissions across life sciences and industrial labs.

Why Lease a Mass Spectrometer?
Mass spectrometers are critical for analyzing complex mixtures, detecting trace compounds, and identifying unknowns. From research labs to clinical diagnostics and industrial QA, they support a wide range of high-precision applications—but they also come with a high price tag.
Leasing lets you bypass long procurement timelines and avoid tying up capital in a single instrument. It’s ideal for labs that need to stay current with evolving sensitivity requirements or want to validate workflows before committing to a full purchase. Plus, leasing helps extend runway and preserve flexibility—especially for VC-backed or grant-funded teams.
Where Leasing a Mass Spectrometer Adds Value
Mass spectrometers are essential for identifying compounds, determining molecular weight, and quantifying analytes across research, clinical, and industrial workflows. But systems like LC-MS, GC-MS, MALDI-TOF, or QTOF often come with steep capital costs and complex procurement timelines.
Leasing can add major value when:
- You need advanced capabilities for proteomics, metabolomics, or trace analysis.
- Your team is expanding analytical throughput and needs faster acquisition without long approval cycles.
- You want to keep pace with evolving sensitivity and resolution requirements without committing to a fixed system long term.
From discovery research to regulated testing, leasing a mass spectrometer helps you scale faster and stay focused on high-impact analysis—while keeping capital available for what matters most.

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."
