• Minimizes equipment downtime with included complete repair coverage and preventive maintenance
• Takes advantage of potentially 100% tax deductible* payments, providing you significant cash-savings
• Expedites the administrative work needed for instrument procurement and logistics
• Conserves working capital,  enabling you to reinvest in your core business and operations (staffing, inventory, marketing/sales, etc.)
• Accommodates all manufacturer and model preferences

*Please consult your tax advisor to determine the full tax implications of leasing equipment.

Automated liquid handling instruments & systems are used in various key industries, including forensics, drug discovery and development, molecular biology, agriculture, materials science, and clinical diagnostics.

These precise platforms are designed to move liquids precisely from one vessel to another in applications ranging from DNA/RNA purification and DNA sequencing to high-throughput screening of pharmaceutical compounds. As a technology, it has become a powerful and popular tool in labs throughout the life science industry.

The development and optimization of automated liquid handlers have allowed countless essential techniques to be performed much more quickly and accurately in research and therapeutic applications. For example, manual sample preparation has always been an overwhelming and time-consuming task that creates bottlenecks in your routine lab.

However, scientists and technicians can free up time and achieve consistent and reproducible upstream sample prep by introducing automated liquid handlers into the lab. This has made liquid handlers a cornerstone instrument in any automated laboratory.

For example, research labs where scientists create and use monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to label and track a wide range of targets require precise liquid handling, something that’s accomplished accurately and repeatably using automated liquid handling platforms.

Additionally, liquid handler lab ware, such as tube racks, tube rack inserts, micro-centrifuge tubes, and cap mats, make your job even easier.

Robotic automation has revolutionized the speed of scientific development and saved countless laboratories time and resources, providing greater reproducibility and eliminating technician-to-technician variability. While every automated liquid handling experiment is unique in terms of throughput, reagents, volumes, order of addition, and readout, several features are central to all liquid handling technologies. We cover those features below.

The life sciences and pharmaceuticals industries have greatly benefited from liquid handlers. And although there are a variety of liquid handling robots available, they all serve a similar purpose: provide automated solutions to workflow bottlenecks and increase efficiencies. Below, we cover some of the types available, their benefits, and the workflow integrations used.

Laboratory automation has changed the way scientists and researchers perform their work, increasing efficiencies and automating the tedious, repetitive tasks required in life science research, pharmaceutical, and clinical laboratories. 

However, costly upfront costs make procuring modern, necessary equipment difficult. Leasing with Excedr is the creative solution to accessing the expensive equipment you need to perform research, meet funding-related milestones, and stay ahead. 

Our liquid handler leases provide you and your laboratory with the liquid handling solutions needed to increase efficiencies in several workflows, from liquid chromatography to NGS workflows.

We can help your procurement team acquire the best platform for your needs, regardless of the brand. Request a lease estimate for an automated liquid handler system, and we can begin building a custom solution for you right away.

We also offer various automated instruments and system leases, such as auto-samplers, microplate readers, and screening systems. If you want to lease other equipment, it’s as easy as putting together one lease for all instruments.

Operating Lease

This off-balance sheet financing structure provides three options at the end of the term. The lessee has the option to return the equipment to the lessor, renew at a discounted rate, or purchase the instrument for the fair market value. Monthly payments are also 100% tax deductible which yields additional monetary savings.

Sale-Leaseback

If you recently bought equipment, Excedr can offer you cash for your device and convert your purchase into a long-term rental. This is called a sale-leaseback. If you’ve paid for equipment within the last ninety days, we can help you recoup your investment and allow you to make low monthly payments. This also frees up money in your budget rather than tying it down to a fixed asset.
