Dynamic Nuclear Polarization
Hyperpolarization allows to considerably increase the sensitivity (>10.000) of 13C-NMR spectroscopy. Our Hypersense (Oxford Instruments) system, used in combination with the Bruker Biospec 11.7T MRI system (for in-vivo application) or the with Bruker Ascend 600MHz NMR system (for in-vitro applications), is able…
