  • BIOLOGICALLY APPLICABLE WATER-SOLUBLE HETEROGENEOUS CATALYSTS FOR PARA-HYDROGEN INDUCED POLARIZATION
    Publication number: 20220323946
    Abstract: A heterogeneous catalyst composition for para-hydrogen induced polarization includes ligand-capped nanoparticles dispersed in water. The ligand-capped nanoparticles include metal nanoparticles that are surface functionalized with organic ligands, a molecular weight of the organic ligands is no greater than 300 g/mol, and the organic ligands each includes multiple binding moieties as coordinates sites for binding to a nanoparticle surface.
    Type: Application
    Filed: March 14, 2022
    Publication date: October 13, 2022
    Applicants: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, CEDARS-SINAI MEDICAL CENTER

  • Devices and methods for parahydrogen induced polarization
    Patent number: 9821290
    Abstract: The present invention teaches devices and methods for hyperpolarization by parahydrogen induced polarization. The invention teaches several significant improvements over previous designs, including a heating block, an enhanced solenoid component, and pinch valves and tubing that provide a sterile environment for the sample. All of these advancements can be accomplished while keeping costs to produce the device relatively low.
