Spectrophotometers Leasing for Labs

Get accurate absorbance and transmission analysis—sourced to order, minimal capital outlay required.

What Is a Spectrophotometer?

A spectrophotometer measures how much light a sample absorbs at specific wavelengths, providing essential data for assessing concentration, purity, and reaction kinetics. These instruments are widely used in biology, chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and industrial QA for quantitative analysis.

Why Lease a Spectrophotometer?

From DNA quantification to water quality testing, spectrophotometry is a core lab function—but advanced systems with UV-Vis, NIR, or full-spectrum optics, as well as plate readers or automation features, can require a significant investment.

Leasing allows you to access the precision tools your workflows demand—without capital delays or budget constraints.

Where Leasing a Spectrophotometer Adds Value

Spectrophotometers are widely used in teaching labs, QA workflows, and molecular biology for accurate absorbance and concentration measurements. But acquiring new or multiple units can strain capital budgets—especially when scaling quickly.

Leasing can be a smart choice when:

  • You’re modernizing QA or expanding assay throughput—Access reliable systems without capital delays.
  • You need full support from sourcing to servicing—Streamline setup with delivery, installation, and maintenance included.
  • You’ve recently made a purchase but need to free up cash—Use sale-leaseback options to recover budget while keeping equipment in use.

Whether outfitting classrooms or high-throughput labs, leasing a spectrophotometer gives you operational flexibility—without the financial strain.

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.
