About GC Image

Driven by R&D, Delivering Insight.

At GC Image, we're driven by the pursuit of transformative insights from complex scientific data. Born from academic ingenuity and fueled by a passion for research and development, we develop leading-edge informatics software that empowers researchers and analysts worldwide.

Our Journey: From Academia to Industry Leadership

Founded in December 2002, GC Image, LLC, emerged as a spin-off from the University of Nebraska - Lincoln (UNL). Our roots lie in the groundbreaking software for comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GCxGC) initially developed within the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) Department at UNL. From our office in Lincoln, Nebraska, we have become a recognized leader in two-dimensional chromatography data processing, built on a bedrock of continuous research and development.

Core Strengths: The Foundation of Innovation

Our expertise is built on a solid foundation of:

Scientific Data Processing: We excel in transforming raw data into meaningful information through advanced algorithmic development.
Advanced Visualization Technologies: We create intuitive and powerful ways to see and understand complex datasets, constantly researching new visualization paradigms.
Efficient Software Design: We build efficient, reliable, and user-friendly software solutions, with an agile R&D approach to software engineering.

These core strengths, continually honed through dedicated research, have enabled us to develop industry-leading informatics software not only for GCxGC but also for comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography (LCxLC) and other multi-dimensional separation technologies.

Evolving Solutions Through Dedicated Research & Development

Research and Development is not just a department at GC Image; it’s our core identity. Our latest software offerings, which provide powerful tools for sample classification and biomarker discovery by integrating comprehensive two-dimensional chromatography with high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), are a direct result of our intensive R&D efforts. This unwavering commitment to advancing scientific discovery has been made possible through vital support from esteemed organizations such as the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and other governmental and commercial entities who recognize and invest in our R&D capabilities.

The People Behind the Innovation: An R&D Collective

The people of GC Image share a profound commitment to the creative and scientific endeavor of software development. Our entire team, from development and support to leadership, is deeply embedded in our research and development culture. This collective R&D focus ensures that every aspect of our work is geared towards innovation and solving the most pressing customer needs and challenges.

Leading our dedicated team are:

Dr. Stephen E. Reichenbach: Founding Director and CEO, and Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln, fostering our R&D vision.
Dr. Qingping Tao: President and COO, championing our R&D-driven operational and strategic initiatives.

We are passionate about empowering scientific breakthroughs through continuous research and development. We look forward to working for you.
