High-Content Imaging System Leases for Labs
Get automated, multiparametric imaging platforms. Equipment sourced to order. Minimal capital outlay required.
What Is a High-Content Imaging System?
High-content imaging systems (HCI/HCS) combine automated microscopy, fluorescence detection, and image analysis software to extract rich, multiparametric data from biological samples. These systems are essential in drug discovery, phenotypic screening, toxicology, and high-throughput cellular assays.
Why Lease an HCI/HCS System?
From multiplexed fluorescence detection to kinetic imaging and automated plate handling, high-content systems deliver unmatched insights—but they also carry significant acquisition and maintenance costs.
Leasing allows your lab to adopt scalable, data-rich imaging platforms without the upfront capital burden—so you can focus on running high-throughput assays, not justifying procurement delays.
Where Leasing HCI/HCS Equipment Adds Value
Outfitting a lab—whether for diagnostics, discovery, or production—requires speed, flexibility, and budget awareness. Leasing helps you get the right equipment in place without capital delays or long-term risk. Leasing can be a smart choice when:
- You need lease terms aligned with your workflow and budget—Scale confidently with flexible agreements tailored to your equipment lifecycle.
- You want full support from sourcing to servicing—Streamline setup with coordinated delivery, installation, and maintenance.
- You’ve already purchased equipment but need to free up capital—Use sale-leaseback options to recover budget while keeping systems in use.
Whether you’re scaling capacity, launching new assays, or upgrading infrastructure, leasing helps you move faster—without financial friction.

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."
