CO₂ Incubator Leasing for Labs

Lease the CO₂ incubator that fits your workflow. Support healthy cell growth—without tying up your budget.

What Is a CO₂ Incubator?

A CO₂ incubator maintains stable temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide levels to support the growth of mammalian cells, tissues, and embryos. It’s essential in cell biology, stem cell research, vaccine development, and biomanufacturing. These systems create sterile, precisely regulated environments critical to culture viability and reproducibility.

Why Lease a CO₂ Incubator?

From academic labs to biopharma production, CO₂ incubators are vital for maintaining healthy cell cultures. But systems with active humidity control, HEPA filtration, contamination prevention, and precise gas regulation can be costly upfront.

Leasing provides a more flexible, budget-friendly path to securing this essential equipment. Whether you're expanding a tissue culture lab or launching a new therapeutic program, Excedr helps you acquire the right incubator—without delaying critical research.

Where Leasing a CO₂ Incubator Adds Value

CO₂ incubators are critical for maintaining stable environments in cell culture, tissue engineering, and bioproduction. But advanced models with hypoxia control, stacking capability, or GMP features can carry high upfront costs.

Leasing can be a smart choice when:

  • You’re scaling culture or biomanufacturing workflows—Add incubators without capital delays.
  • You need hypoxia, GMP readiness, or stackable designs—Lease systems built for your conditions.
  • You want to preserve budget for assays or staffing—Stay research-ready without overspending.

Whether upgrading or expanding, leasing a CO₂ incubator offers flexibility, control, and room to grow.

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.
