Finance the instrument
that reads the sample.

Used & Refurbished Spectroscopy
Manufacturer-certified, dealer-refurbished, and private-seller instruments. All age points financed when service records support it.
NMR Spectroscopy
Benchtop and high-field FT-NMR for structure elucidation and QC. Bruker, JEOL, Nanalysis benchtop. $50K to $1M+.
Environmental lab to pharma QC, we structure deals for both. Transactions from $30,000 to $5,000,000+. New, certified refurbished, and dealer-refurbished instruments all eligible.
A broker who actually
knows spectroscopy.
We know the technique, not just the ticket.
Most lenders see a line item. We see an Agilent 5800 ICP-OES configured for environmental metals, a Bruker ALPHA II FTIR running QC in a polymer lab, or a Renishaw inVia confocal Raman system doing pharmaceutical characterization. That context gets your deal funded.
Real lab operator experience
We've opened and operated both a high-throughput toxicology lab and a cannabis testing lab. We've sourced ICP-MS, FTIR, and UV-Vis systems and built compliant workflows. We've stood in the lab buyer's seat.
Application-matched structures
Spectroscopy spans benchtop UV-Vis to high-end WDXRF platforms. We match structure to the technique's role: routine QC workhorse vs. R&D tool with a defined project lifecycle.
Used and refurbished done right
A refurbished ICP-MS or FTIR can be a smart play. We know what to look for in service history, lamp hours, detector condition, and remaining useful life, and we work with lenders comfortable financing pre-owned spectroscopy instruments.
Bundled soft costs
Service contracts, accessories, software, and installation bundled into financing at no rate premium. Up to 20 to 25% of equipment cost in soft costs.
Soft pull, always
No impact to your credit score during evaluation. We run soft pulls only until you're ready to move forward.
Simple application.
Fast decision.
Apply online in about four minutes. Equipment type, approximate cost, basic business info. We run a soft pull, zero impact to your credit, and return pre-approval terms same day in most cases.
With 50+ lender relationships, we find the right fit for your deal. FMV lease, $1 buyout, term loan, or sale-leaseback on equipment you already own. We match the structure to your tax and cash-flow situation.
Terms up to 84 months. Decisions often within hours, not days.
Spectroscopy Financing,
Answered.
Can I finance a refurbished or used spectrometer?
Yes. Refurbished spectroscopy instruments from Agilent, Thermo, Bruker, and PerkinElmer finance well when they have documented service history and are in working condition. What matters more than the calendar year is service records, condition, and remaining useful life. ICP-OES systems and FTIR benchtops are particularly strong collateral, and we have placed deals on instruments well past the decade mark. We know which lenders are most receptive to pre-owned spectroscopy equipment and structure deals accordingly.
Can accessories, software, and service contracts be bundled into the financing?
Yes. Autosampler systems, inert spray chambers, software licenses (ICP Expert, OMNIC, OPUS), extended service agreements, and installation costs can typically be bundled into the financing at no rate premium. For Raman and FTIR systems, microscope stages and sample accessories are regularly included in the financing package.
Which structure makes sense for a QC spectrometer vs. an R&D instrument?
For a production QC instrument running the same method for 10+ years (an ICP-OES on a metals panel, an FTIR doing incoming polymer QC), a $1 buyout with Section 179 is usually the right call. For an R&D instrument tied to a specific project or program with a defined 3 to 5 year horizon, an FMV lease gives you exit flexibility without being stuck owning outdated hardware. We walk through both before anything is signed.
How does iLease Capital compare to manufacturer financing for spectroscopy?
Manufacturer programs (Agilent Financial Solutions, Thermo Fisher Financial) only finance their own brand at a single rate. iLease Capital is lender-agnostic. We shop 50+ lenders and routinely match or beat captive rates. We can also finance multi-vendor lab configurations in a single transaction, for example, an Agilent ICP-OES alongside a Bruker FTIR under one master lease.
Do you finance spectroscopy equipment for cannabis, environmental, and food testing labs?
Yes. Cannabis testing labs (ICP-MS and ICP-OES for metals, FTIR and Raman for identification), environmental labs (ICP-OES, AA, UV-Vis), and food safety labs are among the most active segments we work with. These are well-understood collateral types with lenders who are comfortable with the regulatory environment. Be upfront about the industry and we'll route your deal to the right capital sources.
