Raman Microscope Leasing for Labs

Molecular imaging—without tying up your budget. Lease the Raman microscope that fits your workflow.

What Is a Raman Microscope?

Raman microscopes combine optical microscopy with Raman spectroscopy to analyze the molecular composition of a sample through inelastic light scattering. They’re widely used in materials science, chemistry, life sciences, and pharmaceuticals.

Why Lease a Raman Microscope?

Raman microscopy offers label-free, non-destructive chemical analysis—but systems with confocal optics, multiple excitation lasers, high-sensitivity detectors, and integrated mapping software often come with high upfront costs.

Excedr provides flexible leasing options that make it easier to acquire advanced Raman systems—so you can perform high-resolution spectral analysis without capital limitations.

Where Leasing a Raman Microscope Adds Value

Raman microscopes provide high-resolution, label-free chemical imaging—ideal for pharmaceutical QA, materials science, and hybrid modality workflows. But systems with mapping, confocal, or integration capabilities often come with high upfront costs.

Leasing can be a smart choice when:

  • You’re scaling pharmaceutical QA—Enable fast, non-destructive analysis without delaying timelines.
  • You’re conducting advanced materials research—Access spectral tools without disrupting project momentum.
  • You’re building hybrid imaging workflows—Integrate with SEM, AFM, or fluorescence without straining your budget.

Whether expanding capacity or adopting new modalities, leasing a Raman microscope provides cutting-edge capability—without capital limitations.

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.

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."
