Mass Spectrometer Leasing for Labs
Analyze molecular composition and structure—without tying up your budget. Lease the mass spectrometer that fits your workflow.
What Is Mass Spectrometry?
Mass spectrometry identifies and quantifies compounds by measuring the mass-to-charge ratio of ions. It’s a foundational technique in proteomics, metabolomics, drug development, and environmental testing. MS is used to detect trace-level analytes, characterize molecular structures, and support regulatory submissions across life sciences and industrial labs.

Why Lease a Mass Spectrometer?
Mass spectrometers are critical for analyzing complex mixtures, detecting trace compounds, and identifying unknowns. From research labs to clinical diagnostics and industrial QA, they support a wide range of high-precision applications—but they also come with a high price tag.
Leasing lets you bypass long procurement timelines and avoid tying up capital in a single instrument. It’s ideal for labs that need to stay current with evolving sensitivity requirements or want to validate workflows before committing to a full purchase. Plus, leasing helps extend runway and preserve flexibility—especially for VC-backed or grant-funded teams.
Where Leasing a Mass Spectrometer Adds Value
Mass spectrometers are essential for identifying compounds, determining molecular weight, and quantifying analytes across research, clinical, and industrial workflows. But systems like LC-MS, GC-MS, MALDI-TOF, or QTOF often come with steep capital costs and complex procurement timelines.
Leasing can add major value when:
- You need advanced capabilities for proteomics, metabolomics, or trace analysis.
- Your team is expanding analytical throughput and needs faster acquisition without long approval cycles.
- You want to keep pace with evolving sensitivity and resolution requirements without committing to a fixed system long term.
From discovery research to regulated testing, leasing a mass spectrometer helps you scale faster and stay focused on high-impact analysis—while keeping capital available for what matters most.

Helping Scientists Scale & Succeed
"We used Excedr when it was time for us to make a large capital equipment purchase. The whole leasing process was smooth, quick, and seamless.
Working with Excedr made it possible for us to accelerate our scientific discovery pipeline without a large outlay of capital."
Jessica Grossman
CEO, IgGenix
"Excedr's lease structure helped us extend our cash runway, forecast our projects with greater accuracy, and track and manage upcoming expenses more effectively, putting us in a stronger position for our next venture round."
Shawn Gahr
COO & Co-Founder, Novoron
"Building a biotech is tough, and Excedr has been a dynamite partner in scaling. They supported Distributed Bio’s growth from an 8-person 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."
Jacob Glanville
CEO & President, Centivax
"Excedr has been invaluable for KiraGen Bio, helping us access high-quality equipment without heavy upfront costs.
Their flexible leasing and reliable support let us focus on advancing research rather than equipment procurement and maintenance."
Aaron Edwards
Co-Founder & CEO, KiraGen Bio
"Excedr helped us finance a BLI system when we were new to equipment leasing.
Sylvia guided us through our options, and the fast, easy process freed our team to focus on research and grant management instead of funding logistics."
Max Brennan
General Counsel & VP Operations, Zab Bio
“Leasing our Zeiss EVO10 electron microscope cut outside analysis costs in the first year and improved response times to field issues.
Having it on-site also strengthened our Engineering and Production Teams’ understanding of our product lines."
