Pittsburgh, PA--ChemImage is one of six companies selected to receive up to $1 million in funding from the Ohio Third Frontier Advanced Materials Program, which accelerates the development and growth of the advanced materials industry in Ohio. ChemImage will use the funding to establish a manufacturing facility for the company's patented multi-conjugate filter (MCF) technology.

Based on liquid-crystal technology, the tunable filters are key to the company’s hyperspectral imaging instrumentation that characterizes material composition of samples.

ChemImage partnered with Kent State University’s Liquid Crystal Institute when current liquid-crystal vendors could not meet their technical requirements. The Ohio Third Frontier Award will allow ChemImage and the Liquid Crystal Institute to continue their collaboration and establish a permanent manufacturing facility for ChemImage Imaging Technologies in Northeast Ohio, with about 20 jobs expected within the next two to five years of operation.

In addition to its Ohio expansion, ChemImage launched Gateway Analytical, an analytical testing company, in fall 2010 in Gibsonia, PA.
