All equipment brands and models are available.
Visualize and analyze cellular structures and activity with cell imaging systems in biology workflows.
As such, live-cell imaging has proven to be a crucial part of cellular analysis in fields like molecular biology, neuroscience, diagnostics, and immuno-oncology. When using cell imaging systems, researchers are able to:
- Capture cell behavior in real-time
- Assess cellular health
- Quantify cell dynamics
- Measure cell response to treatment
But, cellular experimentation is only as powerful as your cell imager. The capabilities and configuration of the imager, multi-mode reader (conventional microplate reading combined with widefield microscopy), or microscope can greatly impact your work. With the proper cell imaging system, you can be sure:
- Cell numbers are accurately quantified in your 3D cell culture models
- Cell migration is easily accomplished
- Real-time kinetics are captured without issue
- Multiparameter analysis is performed efficiently
That is to say, all of these factors will determine the success and reproducibility of imaging experiments and downstream assays.
Understanding cellular behavior, response, and structures of both single cells and populations is made possible with the advancement of cell imaging techniques and time-lapse imaging. Compared with fixed cell microscopy, live-cell imaging greatly increases the information available to life science researchers on how stimuli affect the life and death of cells.
Cell imaging systems and methods are suitable for a range of cell-based assays and applications, including:
- Stem cell research
- Cancer research
- Toxicity screening
- COVID-19 and infectious disease research
- and much more
Why Biotech Teams Choose Excedr
Here’s what sets our leasing program apart.
Leasing Built for Biotech Startups
Our program is designed specifically for life sciences—flexible, non-dilutive, and aligned with the needs of R&D-heavy teams.
Non-Dilutive Capital to Scale Faster
Leasing helps extend your runway without giving up equity. Fund your lab and hit key milestones without compromising ownership.
You Bring the Equipment—We Finance It
We don’t carry inventory. Once approved, you choose the exact equipment you need—we’ll structure the lease around it.
Fast Approvals for Fast-Moving Teams
Our startup-savvy process gets you approved in days—not weeks—so you can move at the pace of your science.
Terms That Match Your Timeline
Leases range from 2 to 5 years, tailored to your stage, equipment lifecycle, and budget.
Expert Support from Day One
We work directly with vendors and service providers to streamline logistics, repairs, and maintenance—so you don’t have to.
No Loan-Like Terms or Restrictions
Skip the covenants, collateral, and IP pledges. Our leases are founder-friendly by design.
Free Up Capital with Sale-Leasebacks
If you’ve already purchased equipment, we can buy and lease it back to you—converting upfront costs into flexible monthly payments.
Flexible Options at Lease-End
Choose to renew, return, or purchase at fair market value—no pressure, just options.
