Laboratory Balance & Scale Leasing for Labs

Lease the lab balances that fits your workflows. Ensure weighing precision across all experimentation—without tying up budget.

What Is a Laboratory Scale?

Laboratory scales—also known as lab balances—measure mass with high precision and stability. Common types include analytical balances, microbalances, and top-loading scales. These instruments are widely used in research, pharmaceutical development, QA/QC, and materials testing for highly accurate formulations and measurements.

Why Lease a Laboratory Scale?

Accurate weighing is essential across scientific workflows—but high-performance scales with internal calibration, anti-vibration setups, or GLP compliance can be surprisingly costly upfront.

Leasing gives you access to advanced systems that match your sensitivity, throughput, and compliance needs—without financial bottlenecks. Whether you're formulating low-volume compounds or weighing bulk samples, leasing helps you stay compliant and precise as your requirements evolve—without delaying research or overextending your budget.

Where Leasing a Laboratory Scale Adds Value

Leasing a lab scale is especially helpful when:

  • You need precision at volume — Access analytical or microbalances for routine or trace measurements
  • You’re working in regulated environments — Maintain GLP/GMP compliance with documented calibration
  • You’re scaling operations — Pun intended. Outfit multiple benches or production lines without capital strain

Whether you're weighing milligrams or kilograms, leasing ensures your workflows stay accurate and uninterrupted.

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.

The lease of our Zeiss EVO10 electron microscope has significantly impacted our outside analysis costs, realizing a significant savings in the 1st year.

Having the instrument on-site has greatly improved our response times to field issues and fabrication challenges, while improving our Engineering and Production Teams' overall understanding of our product lines."
