Ion Exchange Chromatography System Leasing for Labs
Lease the IEX system that fits your workflow. Separate charged biomolecules with precision—without tying up your budget.
What Is Ion Exchange Chromatography?
Ion exchange chromatography (IEX) separates molecules based on their charge by using resins that attract and bind positively or negatively charged species. It’s commonly used for protein purification, water quality analysis, and nucleic acid separation. By adjusting pH and salt gradients, IEX enables selective, high-resolution purification across a wide range of biomolecules.
Why Lease an IEX System
IEX is a critical technique in downstream bioprocessing, quality control, and analytical purification—offering high resolution and scalability across multiple sample types. But acquiring the right system, especially when paired with automated gradient controls, fraction collectors, and multiple detectors, can require a significant capital outlay.
Leasing helps you access high-performance chromatography systems without financial delays. It’s an ideal option for biopharma teams, academic researchers, and QC labs working on protein purification, nucleotide separation, or charged molecule analysis. Leasing also offers the flexibility to scale or upgrade as your throughput or workflow complexity evolves.
Where Leasing an IEX System Adds Value
Ion exchange chromatography (IEX) is essential for separating and purifying charged biomolecules, particularly proteins, peptides, and nucleic acids. But high-performance IEX systems—with gradient capabilities, advanced detection, and modular scalability—can be costly to acquire upfront.
Leasing can be a smart choice when:
- You’re scaling downstream purification or replacing legacy systems—Access advanced IEX platforms without capital delays.
- You need precise pH control, gradient flexibility, or multi-mode detection—Lease systems that match evolving separation needs.
- You want to preserve budget for reagents, staffing, or validation tools—Maintain operational flexibility without compromising performance.
Whether you're supporting GMP production or optimizing purification methods in early research, leasing an IEX chromatography system helps you stay responsive, reliable, and cost-efficient.

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."
