Measurement of the relaxation times in aqueous solutions and biological samples containing superparamagnetic nanoparticles as contrast agents for MR images. For T1 in the continuous range 10 kHz to 80MHz; for T2 in the range 10 MHz to 80MHz.
Characterization of contrast agents for MR imaging, ascertaining their relaxivity and the dominant effect.
NMR relaxometry technique is an important analytical tool for NMR research and material characterization in both industrial and academic environments and has been successfully applied in a wide range of fields:
– Pharmaceutical Applications:
- R&D of MRI contrast agents
- Proteinstudies
- R&D for formulations (e.g. properties of solutions; liposome carriers)
- Quality control of products in manufacturing
– Polymers Applications:
- R&D for new polymer materials
- Control of levels of polymer additive
- Quality control of products in manufacturing
– Oil, gas and petroleum applications:
- Oil and gas surveying – rock pore size evaluation
