NIA Member Cerion Advanced Materials invests $1.5 million to become dedicated analytics facility for nanoscale materials | NIA News

Cerion Advanced Materials has invested $1.5 million in analytical equipment to bring routine characterization of metal, metal oxide, and ceramic nanomaterials in-house.  Additional investments have been made for dedicated facilities and personnel.  This new analytics lab, in conjunction with the company’s interdisciplinary team of materials scientists and engineers, makes Cerion one of the most sophisticated, state-of-the-art companies within the nanotechnology community.

Cerion creates and optimizes nanomaterials as a service to industrial and defense customers, enabling improved performance for customer’s products across a wide variety of industries.  This significant expansion of Cerion’s analytics footprint provides the ability to uniquely characterize a wide variety of size and non-size attributes important to nanomaterial design, scale-up, and manufacturing.

“Global demand for nanomaterials is escalating at an unprecedented pace,” said Landon Mertz, CEO, Cerion Advanced Materials. “Our investment in analytical equipment continues to reinforce Cerion as the leading force in the commercialization of nanomaterials.  These investments will not only accelerate the speed of our nanomaterial design and scale-up, but also reduce the total cost related to creating next generation nanomaterials for our customers.”
