SIMPLIFIED ROTATING CYLINDER VISCOMETER FOR DNA

Abstract
An inexpensive and easily constructed viscometer, which operates at rates several orders of magnitude lower than the usual capillary viscometer, is described This instrument can be used to study the viscosity of DNA. It puts the solution in contact with glass only, and has been successfully used at stresses from 0.0001 to 0.3 dynes/cm2. A precision of 0.2% has routinely been obtained in measuring relative viscosities.
