Sensitivity enhancement is required to detect the weak signals with Fourier transform Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (FT-EPR). In the proposed method, a small amount of sample was placed at a distance less than half the diameter of the receiving surface coil. The signal was enhanced by a wirelessly pumped coil. Presently, we used the TCNQ for our studies to study signal enhancement. Here, we achieved 7-fold of improvement in signal intensity in compared with conventional FT-EPR acquisition. We will show the results of in vivo oximetry using oxygen sensing solids LiPc and LiNc in in vivo applications to measure tissue oxygenation.
