Peptide Synthesizer Leasing for Labs

Lease the synthesizer that fits your workflow. Automate peptide production with precision—without tying up your budget.

What Is a Peptide Synthesizer?

Peptide synthesizers automate the stepwise chemical assembly of peptides, enabling rapid and scalable production of custom sequences for drug development, vaccine research, and proteomics. These systems increase precision, reduce manual labor, and ensure consistency across batches—critical for research and preclinical development.

Why Lease a Peptide Synthesizer?

Custom peptide synthesis is critical for life science research and therapeutic development—but manually assembling peptides is slow and error-prone. Automated synthesizers streamline workflows and improve reproducibility, but top-tier systems with multiple channels, automation, and purification add-ons can be expensive to purchase outright.

Leasing allows you to acquire the equipment you need without compromising budget or project timelines. It’s ideal for biotech R&D teams, CROs, and academic labs building compound libraries, developing new vaccine candidates, or exploring structure–function relationships. Leasing also makes it easier to upgrade as synthesis scale or complexity increases.

Where Leasing a Peptide Synthesizer Adds Value

Automated lab systems streamline compound synthesis, library management, and high-throughput screening, essential for drug discovery, diagnostics, and biotech innovation. However, acquiring customized automation setups or scaling synthesis capabilities can demand significant upfront investment.

Leasing can be a smart choice when:

  • Building compound libraries or screening platforms—Rapidly access automation capabilities without large upfront costs.
  • Needing parallel synthesis or tailored reagent handling—Flexibly configure automation that evolves with your research.
  • Scaling from pilot experiments to prep-scale production—Lease equipment strategically, preserving your capital agility.

Whether innovating at the bench or accelerating preclinical workflows, leasing lab automation helps you maintain productivity—while remaining financially responsive.

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.
