viscoelastic retardation

    0.04 sec.
viscoelastic retardation
a low shear viscometric method for the determination of the molecular weight of large (>1010) DNA molecules based on mildly stretching long DNA molecules by hydrodynamic shear forces and then removing the force so that the molecule relaxes back to its normal conformation; the relaxation time is related to, and can be used to determine with accuracy, the molecular weight of DNA molecules of the size found in eukaryotic chromosomes.
