Non-invasive manner to record high-resolution MRI images, and do spectroscopy focused on biological samples, small animals or plants, and other materials (http://sct.uab.cat/sermn/en/content/magnetic-resonance-imaging-mri)
Hyperpolarization of samples allows to work with highly polarized nuclear spins in solution, afording a considerable sensitivity gain (http://sct.uab.cat/sermn/en/content/dnp-0)
Use of the equipment for the fixation of living tissue
Access to specific software and database. Software packages include, among others, the INTERPRET decision-support system for human brain tumour diagnosis based on MRS and SpectraClassifier, for pattern recognition of in vivo MRS data single and multivoxel are developed and distributed through the platform (http://gabrmn.uab.es).
