Dynamic Nuclear Polarisation (DNP)

DNP provides enhanced NMR and MRI sensitivity through transfer of polarisation from electron spins to nuclei. CAI has developed a low-frequency DNP polariser for enhancing the sensitivity of NMR and MRI experiments in the areas of structural biology and medicine.

Facilities at CAI include a low-frequency DNP Spectrometer incorporating an X-band Bruker EPR Spectrometer.
