Biological Safety Cabinet Leasing for Labs

Lease the BSC that fits your workflow. Access certified containment from BSL-1 to BSL-3—without tying up budget.

What Is a Biological Safety Cabinet?

A biological safety cabinet (BSC) uses HEPA-filtered airflow to protect personnel, the environment, and experimental materials from biological hazards. BSCs are essential for microbiology, cell culture, diagnostic testing, and any work involving infectious agents or biohazards.

Why Lease a Biological Safety Cabinet?

BSCs are critical to maintaining operator safety and preventing contamination—but acquiring systems with NSF/ANSI 49 certification, airflow alarms, and optional UV sterilization can be cost-prohibitive.

Whether you’re outfitting a BSL-2 lab or scaling infectious disease research, leasing gives you access to fully certified BSCs without straining your budget—so you can stay compliant, protected, and agile.

Where Leasing a BSC Adds Value

BSCs are critical for protecting personnel, samples, and environments in clinical, academic, and high-containment labs. But Class I, II, or III systems with ducting or glovebox configurations can carry high upfront costs.

Leasing can be a smart choice when:

  • You’re launching a new research program—Access the right BSC class without capital delays.
  • You’re upgrading biosafety protocols—Deploy B2 or glovebox-style cabinets as safety needs evolve.
  • You’re managing multi-lab facilities—Standardize infrastructure without long-term commitments.

Whether supporting diagnostics or pathogen research, leasing a BSC ensures protection, compliance, and financial flexibility.

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.
