DNP creates polarised compounds through the influence of a radical-containing species at extremely low temperature. At 1.4 K (-271.6 °C), the radical hyperpolarises the target compound which, after a rapid dissolution step, can be studied in NMR or MRI measurements.
The featured photograph shows our state-of-the-art DNP equipment in action, producing substantial signal gains which enables complex NMR studies to be undertaken.
