FPLC System Leasing for Labs

Lease the FPLC system that fits your workflow. Purify proteins with precision—without tying up your budget.

What Is FPLC?

Fast Protein Liquid Chromatography (FPLC) is a form of liquid chromatography used to separate and purify proteins and other biomolecules based on size, charge, or affinity. It’s a key technique in protein expression, downstream processing, and structural biology. With precise control and real-time detection, FPLC enables reproducible purification of biomolecules across research and production workflows.

Why Lease an FPLC System?

FPLC is essential for purifying recombinant proteins, antibodies, enzymes, and other biomolecules in life science and biopharma workflows. But fully equipped systems with multi-pump configurations, UV detectors, fraction collectors, and software modules can be expensive to acquire and maintain.

Leasing allows you to upgrade or scale your purification capabilities without the capital burden. It’s an ideal option for protein science labs, biotech startups, and core facilities that need flexibility in throughput and system configuration. With leasing, you can stay current with the latest features and minimize downtime—all while preserving capital for mission-critical work.

Where Leasing an FPLC System Adds Value

Protein purification is essential for biotherapeutic development, structural biology, and analytical research. But chromatography systems with modular flow paths, real-time monitoring, and scalable throughput can come with significant upfront costs.

Leasing can be a smart choice when:

  • You're scaling purification workflows—Access high-performance systems quickly without capital delays.
  • You need modular setups with method flexibility and in-line analytics—Tailor equipment to evolving throughput and protocol needs.
  • You need to preserve budget for reagents, assays, and more—Maintain momentum without tying up critical financial resources.

Whether you're refining expression protocols or advancing early-stage drug programs, leasing protein purification systems helps you stay efficient, flexible, and reliable.

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.

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."
