Bio-layer Interferometer Leasing for Labs
Measure biomolecular interactions in real time—without tying up your budget. Lease the biolayer interferometer that fits your workflow.
What Is Bio-Layer Interferometry (BLI)?
BLI is an optical biosensing technique that detects molecular interactions in real time, without the need for labels. It's widely used to measure binding affinity, kinetics, and concentration in antibody discovery, vaccine development, and protein-protein interaction studies. The technique supports rapid screening and characterization workflows while minimizing sample consumption and assay complexity.
Why Lease a BLI System?
BLI has become a powerful alternative to traditional biosensing techniques like SPR—enabling high-throughput, label-free analysis of molecular binding. But top-tier BLI systems come at a high price, often limiting access for smaller labs, early-stage biotechs, or CROs.
Leasing removes those barriers, giving you immediate access to the latest BLI platforms without large capital outlays. It’s ideal for teams advancing antibody discovery, optimizing binding kinetics, or validating biotherapeutic interactions. Leasing also offers room to scale as project scope and throughput requirements change.
Where Leasing a BLI System Adds Value
Leasing is especially valuable when:
- You’re validating protein interactions and need rapid, reliable kinetic data without a high upfront spend.
- Your workflows require parallel analysis, microplate integration, or regeneration support—but capital is tied up elsewhere.
- You’re expanding R&D programs and need scalable access to high-throughput binding studies.
Whether you’re measuring affinity constants or confirming specificity, leasing a BLI helps you move faster and smarter—without locking up your budget.

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."
