Cell Counter Leasing for Labs
Quantify cells accurately and efficiently—without tying up your budget. Lease the cell counter that fits your workflow.
What Is a Cell Counter?
Cell counters are instruments used to quantify cell concentration, viability, and morphology in biological samples. They’re critical for workflows in cell culture, immunology, cancer research, and bioprocessing. Automated systems increase throughput and reduce subjectivity in environments where precision and consistency are essential.

Why Lease a Cell Counter?
Whether you’re preparing cultures for downstream assays or validating cell viability in bioproduction, cell counting is a foundational workflow. Manual counting is labor-intensive and prone to variability—while automated cell counters improve accuracy, speed, and standardization.
Leasing enables labs to implement or upgrade cell counting workflows without capital delays or budget bottlenecks. It’s ideal for academic teams scaling cell-based assays, biotech startups building out cell therapy programs, or QA labs needing to meet throughput targets. Leasing also makes it easier to adopt advanced features like fluorescence or image-based detection—without long-term financial commitment.
Where Leasing a Cell Counter Adds Value
Leasing is especially valuable when:
- You're managing high-volume cell culture workflows and need fast, consistent counts without capital delays.
- Your team requires multi-channel fluorescence, viability analysis, or population gating capabilities.
- You're outfitting a new lab or expanding throughput and want to preserve budget for media, reagents, or instrumentation downstream.
From routine counting to advanced viability checks, leasing gives you the tools you need—on a timeline and budget that work.

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."
