Hyperpolarization techniques have offered the prospect of higher sensitivity and fast imaging, as well as tracking of metabolism in real-time. Nuclear spin singlet states allow the storage of polarization for an extended period of time. Here we present results on the limiting factors for nuclear singlet state lifetimes, and methods by which they can be determined in organic molecules, which is important for designing appropriate contrast agents, or hyperpolarization techniques that track metabolites.
