Founder-friendly, non-dilutive capital
Ideal for early-stage or venture-backed teams—and a smart option for any lab looking to preserve equity while scaling.
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.

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.
Leasing is especially valuable when:
From routine counting to advanced viability checks, leasing gives you the tools you need—on a timeline and budget that work.
- 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.
