PARA-HYDROGEN GENERATORS
Featuring Closed Cycle and Flow Cryostats
JOIN THE FUTURE OF HYPERPOLARIZATION IMAGING
-Inexpensive - Fast - Simple - Reliable - Reproducible-
Para-hydrogen generators employ cryogenic temperatures, where paramagnetic catalyst (iron oxide) converts normal dihydrogen gas into para-hydrogen-enriched gas. Normal dihydrogen gas consists of 25% para-hydrogen and 75% ortho-hydrogen. The percentage enrichment is temperature dependent ranging from 50% Enrichment at 77K and >99% Enrichment at 10K.
The inherently long lived singlet spin state of Para-Hydrogen can be used for Magnetic Resonance (MR) hyperpolarization techniques such as; (1) Para-Hydrogen Induced Polarization (PHIP), (2) Signal Amplification by Reversible Exchange (SABRE), and (3) Para-Hydrogen and Synthesis Allow Dramatically Enhanced Nuclear Spin Amplification (PASADENA). These techniques significantly enhance MR sensitivity by orders of magnitude by increasing nuclear spin polarization, thus enabling functional and metabolic molecular imaging, and other biomedical applications.
