This document discusses methods for measuring the viscoelastic properties of DNA. It describes how DNA exhibits both viscous and elastic behaviors when subjected to stress. Several techniques are summarized, including using a Couette viscometer and Zimm-Crothers Cartesian diver viscometer to apply shear stress to DNA solutions and measure the relaxation over time. Another method called radial migration separates DNA molecules by size as they are stretched and migrate between rotating cones.
