Microplate Sealer Leasing for Labs

Lease the microplate sealer that fits your workflow. Seal assay plates reliably—without tying up your budget.

What Is a Microplate Sealer?

Microplate sealers automate the sealing of microtiter plates using heat, pressure, or adhesives. They're essential for preventing contamination and evaporation in high-throughput screening, PCR, storage, and assay workflows. These systems ensure consistent sealing quality across plate types while reducing manual labor and variability.

Why Lease a Microplate Sealer?

Whether you’re supporting high-throughput screening or stabilizing samples for cold storage, consistent and reliable plate sealing is critical. Manual methods can be time-consuming and error-prone—while automated sealers improve workflow efficiency and data quality.

However, acquiring a high-performance microplate sealer, especially with programmable settings or integration capabilities, can be costly. Leasing helps you deploy the right sealing solution without the financial strain of upfront purchases. It’s an ideal option for assay development teams, screening facilities, and labs automating sample prep at scale.

Where Leasing a Microplate Sealer Adds Value

Effective microplate sealing is foundational in assay reliability and sample preservation, impacting workflows from drug discovery to diagnostics.

Yet automated systems offering high-throughput sealing, programmable control, or robotic integration often come with significant upfront investment. Leasing is especially helpful when:

  • You’re increasing assay throughput and need automation-ready sealing — Access programmable sealers without capital delays.
  • You require consistent performance across various plate formats — Lease a system tailored to your workflow and reduce variability.
  • You want to preserve budget for reagents, detection systems, or personnel — Focus your resources while still getting the equipment you need.

Whether you're scaling PCR workflows or automating HTS plate prep, leasing helps you keep pace—without tying up your capital.

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.
