Equipment -> HyperSense (DNP)

Dynamic Nuclear Polarization

DNP methodology allows obtaining strongly polarized nuclear spins in solution, providing a significant increase in the sensitivity of the technique in both its application in high-resolution NMR as MRI.

SeRMN has a compact NMR spectrometer (0.55 T), specially designed to be used together with DNP, allowing easy and automatically quantify the percentage of polarization of a hyperpolarized sample respect to a reference compound (usually 13C2 -DMSO). It is an especially useful tool when compounds are first time hyperpolaized.
