Hypersense dnp

Manufactured by Oxford Instruments
Sourced in United Kingdom

HyperSense DNP is a dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) system designed for enhancing the sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The core function of the HyperSense DNP is to transfer polarization from unpaired electrons to nuclear spins, resulting in a significant increase in the signal-to-noise ratio of NMR experiments.

1-13C pyruvic acid (30 μL), containing 15 mM OXO63 and 2.5 mM gadolinium chelate ProHance (Bracco Diagnostics, Milano, Italy), was hyperpolarized at 3.35T and 1.4K using the Hypersense DNP polarizer (Oxford Instruments, Abingdon, UK) according to the manufacturer's instructions. After 60-90 min, the hyperpolarized sample was rapidly dissolved in 4.5 mL of a superheated alkaline buffer that consisted of 50 mM Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, 75 mM NaOH, and 100 mg/L ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. The hyperpolarized 1-13C pyruvate solution (96 mM) was intravenously injected through a catheter placed in the tail vein of the mouse (12 μL/g body weight). Hyperpolarized 13C MRI studies were performed on a 3T scanner (MR Solutions, Guildford, UK) using a home-built 13C solenoid leg coil. After the rapid injection of hyperpolarized 1-13C pyruvate, spectra were acquired every second for 240 seconds using a single pulse sequence. Data were analyzed in a model free approach using the lactate/pyruvate ratio, calculated from the areas under the curves of the 1-13C lactate peak and the 1-13C pyruvate peak [15 (link)].

Hyperpolarized Pyruvate Metabolism Study

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Pyruvate samples were prepared by mixing 14 M [1-13C] pyruvate (Cambridge Isotopes), 15 mM OX063 radical (GE Healthcare) and 1.5 mM of Dotarem (Guerbet LLC). 22 μL aliquots were polarized using a commercial HyperSense DNP polarizer (Oxford Instruments) for approximately one hour. Samples were melted with 4 mL dissolution buffer (80 mM NaOH, 40 mM Trizma buffer, 50 mM NaCl and 0.1 mg/L EDTA) at 10 bar pressure and 180 ºC to yield 80 mM isotonic neutral polarized [1-13C] pyruvate at 37 ºC. Polarization was estimated to be 20±6% for the studies based on the solid-state build up curve and separate measurements. Samples were transferred to the animal within approximately 10 seconds of dissolution and 6.7±1.9 ml/kg were administered through the tail vein over 10±2 seconds. This was followed by a 300-μL saline dose over 2 seconds to flush the pyruvate from the catheter’s dead volume. To minimize respiratory motion during data acquisition, a 10-second breath-hold was applied using the ventilator and data acquisition was initiated 12±1 seconds after the end of injection.

Hyperpolarized [2-13C]Pyruvate Production

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A mixture of 14-M [2-13C]-labeled pyruvic acid (Sigma-Aldrich Co., St. Louis, MO, USA) and 15-mM trityl radical OX063 (Oxford Instruments, UK) was polarized using a HyperSense DNP polarizer (Oxford Instruments, UK) by irradiating the sample with microwaves (94.076 GHz) at ∼1.4 K. When the solid-state polarization reached more than 98% of the estimated maximum polarization level, the sample was dissolved with a buffer solution (40 mM tris[hydoroxymethyl]aminomethane, 125 mM NaOH, 100 mg/L ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and 50 mM NaCl), resulting in a 125-mM solution of [2-13C]pyruvate with pH ∼7.5.

Hyperpolarization was generated on 19F spins in a HyperSense DNP polarizer (Oxford Instruments, Abingdon, UK) by irradiating with microwaves of 94.055 GHz and 100 mW power, at a temperature of 1.4 K. After 20 min of the polarization, the samples were dissolved in a stream of 4 mL of buffer that had been pre-heated until a pressure of 5 bar was reached at an approximate temperature of 385 K. Dissolved samples were automatically loaded into the injection loop.

Dynamic Nuclear Polarization of 1-13C-Pyruvate

Dynamic Nuclear Polarization of 1-13C-pyruvate was performed using a HyperSense DNP polarizer (Oxford Instruments, Abingdon, UK) at an excitation frequency of 94.080 GHz and temperature of ~1.4 K. DNP was performed on a stock mixture of 14 M [1-13C]-pyruvate (Cambridge Isotopes, Tewksbury, MA), 15 mM OX063 radical (GE Healthcare) and 1.5 mM of Dotarem (Guerbet LLC, Princeton, NJ). 22 μL of stock solution were melted in 4 mL or 8 mL of dissolution buffer (80 mM NaOH, 40 mM Trizma (pH = 7.6), 50 mM NaCl and 0.42 mM EDTA), for in vivo or in vitro experiments for in vivo or in vitro experiments respectively, at 10-bar pressure and 180 °C to yield 80 mM isotonic, neutral hyperpolarized 1-13C-pyruvate. For in vitro experiments, 6.3 mL of hyperpolarized 1-13C-pyruvate was pumped into the cell mass at 7 mL/min. For in vivo studies, 6.7 mL/kg of the sample was administered through a tail vein catheter over 13 seconds by hand injection, followed by administration of 300-μL saline over 2 seconds to flush the pyruvate from the catheter’s dead volume.

C57BL/6, ITK-SYKCD4-CreERT2 or ITK-SYKCD4-CreERT2;Pdcd1−/− mice received a single dose of 2 mg tamoxifen. For PET–CT imaging, mice were injected with [18F]FDG (~12 MBq), and tracer uptake was measured after 90 min using a preclinical Siemens Inveon PET–CT system. Splenic standardized uptake values were calculated using Inveon Research Workplace software. Hyperpolarized 13C MRI of the animals was performed using a preclinical 7-T magnetic resonance scanner (Agilent–GE Discovery MR901 magnet and gradient system, Bruker AVANCE III HD electronics). The animals were injected with hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyruvate (250 µl, 80 mM, HyperSense DNP, Oxford Instruments), and both [1-13C]pyruvate and [1-13C]lactate were recorded in vivo using a static 2D FID–CSI (matrix size, 18 × 12; FOV, 30 mm × 20 mm; slice thickness, 3 mm; flip angle, 12°; number of points, 128; bandwidth, 2,000 Hz). T2-weighted images (1H-RARE; matrix size, 150 × 100; FOV, 30 mm × 20 mm; slice thickness, 1 mm) were recorded for co-registration and determination of spleen size. Peak heights for [1-13C]pyruvate versus [1-13C]lactate were determined and summed over the spleen region of interest using MATLAB code developed in house.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
