Hyperpolarization methods in magnetic resonance overcome sensitivity limitations, especially for low-γ nuclei such as C and N. Signal Amplification By Reversible Exchange (SABRE) and extended SABRE (X-SABRE) are efficient and low-cost methods for generating large polarizations on a variety of nuclei, but they most commonly use low magnetic fields (μT-mT). High field approaches, where hyperpolarization is generated directly in the spectrometer, are potentially much more convenient but have been limited to selectively hyperpolarize single targets. Here we introduce a new pulse sequence-based approach that affords broadband excitation of SABRE hyperpolarization at high magnetic fields without having to tailor pulse sequence parameters to specific targets. This permits simultaneous hyperpolarization of multiple targets for the first time at high field and offers a direct approach to integration of high-field SABRE hyperpolarization into routine NMR applications, such as NMR-based metabonomics and biomolecular NMR.
磁共振中的极化方法克服了灵敏度限制,特别是对于 C 和 N 等低γ核。信号放大可逆交换(SABRE)和扩展 SABRE(X-SABRE)是在各种核上产生大极化的有效且低成本的方法,但它们最常用于低磁场(微特斯拉-毫特斯拉)。高场方法,其中极化是在光谱仪中直接产生的,在便利性方面具有更大的潜力,但仅限于选择性地对单个靶标进行极化。在这里,我们介绍了一种新的基于脉冲序列的方法,该方法可以在高磁场下对 SABRE 极化进行宽带激发,而无需针对特定目标调整脉冲序列参数。这首次允许在高场下同时对多个靶标进行极化,并为将高场 SABRE 极化直接集成到常规 NMR 应用中提供了一种方法,例如基于 NMR 的代谢组学和生物分子 NMR。
