Founder-friendly, non-dilutive capital
Ideal for early-stage or venture-backed teams—and a smart option for any lab looking to preserve equity while scaling.
Cold Trap Leasing for Labs
Lease the cold trap that fits your workflow. Protect vacuum systems and recover solvents—without tying up your budget.
What Is a Cold Trap?
A cold trap condenses and captures vapors—typically water, solvents, or corrosive chemicals—before they reach a vacuum pump. They're essential in freeze drying, rotary evaporation, and other vacuum-based lab processes. By shielding pumps and improving solvent recovery, cold traps help maintain lab safety and system longevity.
Cold traps extend the life of your vacuum equipment and improve solvent recovery—but acquiring a properly sized, chemically resistant trap with deep-cold performance (-50°C to -100°C) can be more expensive than expected, especially when paired with rotary evaporators or lyophilizers.
Leasing helps you get the system you need—faster, and with less capital strain. Whether you're optimizing lyophilization, supporting environmental testing, or protecting high-use vacuum pumps, Excedr makes it easy to scale without compromise.
Cold traps are essential for protecting vacuum systems, capturing solvents, and supporting moisture-sensitive workflows. But models built for chemical resistance or high-throughput use can be costly upfront.
Leasing can be a smart choice when:
Whether managing evaporation or preserving samples, leasing a cold trap gives you fast, reliable access—without financial strain.
- You’re handling solvent-heavy or sensitive workflows —Capture vapors without capital delays.
- You need PTFE, stainless steel, or specialized builds —Get a trap that matches your process.
- You want to preserve budget for other priorities —Protect systems without overspending.
