Cryogenic Freezer Leasing for Labs
Lease the cryogenic freezer that fits your long-term storage needs. Preserve sample integrity—without tying up your budget.
What Is a Cryogenic Freezer?
Cryogenic freezers (or cryo freezers) store biological samples at ultra-low temperatures—often as low as -150°C to -196°C using liquid nitrogen or specialized compressors. They’re essential in cell banking, biobanking, vaccine storage, and long-term biospecimen preservation. These systems ensure sample viability over extended periods and support regulatory compliance in high-stakes environments.
Why Lease a Cryogenic Freezer?
Cryogenic freezers protect sensitive samples, but acquiring one—especially with temperature monitoring, backup systems, and LN₂ automation—can involve major upfront costs. And for high-throughput labs, redundancy and compliance add even more complexity.
Leasing offers a cost-effective, flexible way to secure high-performance storage systems without delaying important research or risking sample integrity. Whether you're storing stem cells, biologics, or clinical trial samples, Excedr helps you stay operational and compliant—without tying up capital.
Where Leasing a Cryogenic Freezer Adds Value
Cryogenic freezers are essential for long-term storage of biospecimens, cell lines, and clinical samples. But systems with LN₂ automation, access controls, and alarm integration can come with high upfront costs.
Leasing can be a smart choice when:
- You’re scaling cryostorage for research or compliance—Secure validated systems without delays.
- You need automation, access control, or monitoring—Lease systems built for sample safety.
- You want to preserve capital for staff or expansion—Protect storage without overspending.
Whether storing samples for months or years, leasing a cryogenic freezer safeguards both inventory and budget.
