Nondisruptive Dissolution of Hyperpolarized 129Xe into Viscous Aqueous and Organic Liquid Crystalline Environments

Studies of hyperpolarized xenon‐129 (hp‐129Xe) in media such as liquid crystals and cell suspensions are in demand for applications ranging from biomedical imaging to materials engineering but have been hindered by the inability to bubble Xe through the desired media as a result of viscosity or pert...

Zusammenfassung:Studies of hyperpolarized xenon‐129 (hp‐129Xe) in media such as liquid crystals and cell suspensions are in demand for applications ranging from biomedical imaging to materials engineering but have been hindered by the inability to bubble Xe through the desired media as a result of viscosity or perturbations caused by bubbles. Herein a device is reported that can be reliably used to dissolve hp‐129Xe into viscous aqueous and organic samples without bubbling. This method is robust, requires small sample volumes (
