Anaerobic Chamber Leasing for Labs

Maintain oxygen-free environments—without tying up your budget. Lease the anaerobic chamber that fits your workflow.

What Is an Anaerobic Chamber?

Anaerobic chambers (also called glove boxes or anaerobic workstations) create oxygen-free environments essential for culturing anaerobic microbes and handling oxygen-sensitive samples. They’re widely used in microbiology, clinical diagnostics, and biotech R&D. These systems provide tightly regulated environments for critical research, including integrated incubation, gas control, and contamination prevention.

Why Lease an Anaerobic Chamber?

Anaerobic chambers are vital for cultivating anaerobic organisms and working with oxygen-sensitive materials—but these systems can be expensive to acquire and maintain, especially when you need customization for temperature control, gas mixing, or integrated incubation.

Leasing eliminates the need for a large upfront purchase and allows your lab to implement or upgrade systems without compromising cash flow. It’s ideal for clinical teams launching new assays, biotech groups scaling microbial studies, or academic labs adapting to grant cycles. Leasing also allows you to customize systems and upgrade over time—ensuring your setup evolves with your research

Where Leasing an Anaerobic Chamber Adds Value

Leasing makes sense when:

  • You're studying anaerobic microbes and need a precise environment—without waiting on capital approvals.
  • Your team needs custom gas mixing, glovebox integration, or passthrough incubators, but can’t justify a one-time purchase.
  • You're outfitting a new lab and want to preserve budget for staffing, consumables, or downstream instrumentation.

Whether you're running strict redox experiments or scaling anaerobic sample handling, leasing supports scientific precision without financial friction.

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.

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."
