A magnetic tunnel to shelter hyperpolarized fluids.
To shield solutions carrying hyperpolarized nuclear magnetization from rapid relaxation during transfer through low fields, the transfer duct can be threaded through an array of permanent magnets. The advantages are illustrated for solutions containing hyperpolarized (1)H and (13)C nuclei in a variety of molecules.
