The setup of a cryogen-free device for dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (dDNP) in an imaging facility is described. Fully automated procedures were used to calibrate the system and to perform hyperpolarization of pyruvic acid. Polarizations exceeding 30 % were achieved routinely within an experiment duration of less than an hour. Pitfalls are discussed and solutions proposed.
