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.
Why Lease a Cold Trap?
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.
Where Leasing a Cold Trap Adds Value
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:
- 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.
Whether managing evaporation or preserving samples, leasing a cold trap gives you fast, reliable access—without financial strain.

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.

“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."
