title: Eddy current-shielded x-space relaxometer for sensitive magnetic nanoparticle characterization.
abstract: The development of magnetic particle imaging (MPI) has created a need for optimized magnetic nanoparticles. Magnetic particle relaxometry is an excellent tool for characterizing potential tracers for MPI. In this paper, we describe the design and construction of a high-throughput tabletop relaxometer that is able to make sensitive measurements of MPI tracers without the need for a dedicated shield room.
