Cryogenic Freezer Leasing for Labs
Lease the cryogenic freezer that fits your long-term storage needs. Preserve sample integrity—without tying up your budget.
What Is a Cryogenic Freezer?
Cryogenic freezers (or cryo freezers) store biological samples at ultra-low temperatures—often as low as -150°C to -196°C using liquid nitrogen or specialized compressors. They’re essential in cell banking, biobanking, vaccine storage, and long-term biospecimen preservation. These systems ensure sample viability over extended periods and support regulatory compliance in high-stakes environments.
Why Lease a Cryogenic Freezer?
Cryogenic freezers protect sensitive samples, but acquiring one—especially with temperature monitoring, backup systems, and LN₂ automation—can involve major upfront costs. And for high-throughput labs, redundancy and compliance add even more complexity.
Leasing offers a cost-effective, flexible way to secure high-performance storage systems without delaying important research or risking sample integrity. Whether you're storing stem cells, biologics, or clinical trial samples, Excedr helps you stay operational and compliant—without tying up capital.
Where Leasing a Cryogenic Freezer Adds Value
Cryogenic freezers are essential for long-term storage of biospecimens, cell lines, and clinical samples. But systems with LN₂ automation, access controls, and alarm integration can come with high upfront costs.
Leasing can be a smart choice when:
- You’re scaling cryostorage for research or compliance—Secure validated systems without delays.
- You need automation, access control, or monitoring—Lease systems built for sample safety.
- You want to preserve capital for staff or expansion—Protect storage without overspending.
Whether storing samples for months or years, leasing a cryogenic freezer safeguards both inventory and budget.

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."
