Xenon - Hyperpolarizer

The Xenon Hyperpolarizer provides a routine supply of high-purity, hyperpolarized xenon gas for MRI for research. The hyperpolarizer is typically installed near the MRI/NMR suite and processes a custom mixture of unpolarized xenon, nitrogen, and helium, into a dose of pure hyperpolarized xenon that is available for MRI. There is no chemical change associated with hyperpolarization–only nuclear spin alignment and cryogenic extraction of pure xenon. The hyperpolarized xenon is then thawed and dispensed into a dose delivery bag. Once dispensed into an appropriate container, and maintained within a modest holding magnetic field, the polarization relaxes with a T1 of 1 to 2 hours.
