Provides a description of a novel hyperpolarizer design that incorporates specific characteristics required for clinical application including: 1) the ability to simultaneously process multiple doses; 2) no cryogen consumption; 3) a sterile product contained within a disposable fluid path; and 4) an integrated quality control system that rapidly measures six product characteristics to ensure agent safety and efficacy. The system has been demonstrated as a robust means to generate high volume doses for imaging studies. Device functionality and process capability will be discussed.
