  • Longevity of hyperpolarized enhanced signals for H NMR spectroscopy
    Patent number: 9588202
    Abstract: A method and system for providing an article of manufacture with increased longevity of hyperpolarized 1H signals (and other species) for NMR spectroscopy and MRI. The method involves providing a material including a molecular species susceptible of NMR spectroscopy, by providing parahydrogen (and other appropriate species) to disperse within the material/solvent to establish increased longevity of the NMR signals. The material can be in a solution with a surfactant and catalysts added to enhance the persistence of parahydrogen (or other species) in the form of enhanced solubility, microbubbles or micelles and resultant hydrogenation (or other species) of the material.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 13, 2015
    Date of Patent: March 7, 2017
    Assignee: New York University
    Inventors: Joel A. Tang, Francesca Gruppi, Roman Fleysher, Daniel K. Sodickson, James W. Canary, Alexej Jerschow
