Yes, centrifuges are financed as a standard asset purchase, usually on hire purchase or a lease, with the machine itself acting as the security. UK prices typically run £1,500 to £20,000, and most deals are written over 12–72 months with a deposit of around 10–20%. Decisions typically take 24–48 hours. Used machines are financeable too, usually with a shorter term.

Guide prices for sizing a finance agreement, not quotes. Manufacturers in this market mostly price on application, so where a current UK list price could not be confirmed the row describes a specification class rather than naming a model. Your supplier quote is what the agreement is written against.

Check EligibilityEquipment used wholly for the business qualifies for the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), letting you deduct the full cost from taxable profits in the year of purchase, up to the current £1,000,000 AIA limit. Hire purchase lets you claim capital allowances as you own the asset from day one. Finance lease and operating lease rentals are treated as a revenue expense and are usually fully deductible against profits, which is why many practices prefer leasing for equipment that needs replacing on a fixed cycle.
Centrifuges are bought by pathology labs, GP practices doing point-of-care blood processing, veterinary in-house labs and aesthetic clinics preparing PRP (platelet-rich plasma) treatments, with the required speed, capacity and refrigeration driving the price. Because a centrifuge is a lower-value item relative to most clinical equipment, it's frequently financed as part of a wider lab or treatment room setup rather than as a standalone purchase, though standalone finance is readily available for a single replacement unit.
