Laboratory Fume Hood Leasing for Labs
Lease the fume hood that fits your workflow. Ensure certified chemical containment—without tying up budget.
What Is a Laboratory Fume Hood?
A laboratory fume hood is a ventilated enclosure designed to capture and exhaust hazardous chemical vapors, gases, and particulates—protecting users from exposure. It’s essential for any lab working with volatile, corrosive, or toxic substances.
Why Lease a Laboratory Fume Hood?
Fume hoods are critical for lab safety and regulatory compliance—but acquiring a high-quality system with airflow alarms, corrosion-resistant interiors, and ducted or ductless configurations can require significant capital investment.
Whether you're handling solvents, acids, or particulates, leasing helps you implement the right fume hood without delay—while keeping your team safe and your operations compliant.
Where Leasing a Laboratory Fume Hood Adds Value
Fume hoods are essential for maintaining chemical safety in academic, industrial, and clinical labs. But acquiring compliant, high-performance systems—especially during expansions or retrofits—can involve major upfront costs and installation challenges.
Leasing can be a smart choice when:
- You’re retrofitting or expanding lab space—Install new hoods without capital or construction delays.
- You need to meet evolving safety standards—Access SEFA-, ANSI-, or OSHA-compliant models quickly.
- You support varied chemical workflows—Use ducted, ductless, or explosion-proof hoods based on application needs.
Whether outfitting a teaching lab or optimizing production, leasing a fume hood delivers safety, speed, and budget 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."
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."
