Several techniques are used to measure the molecular weight of compounds in cancer research:
Mass Spectrometry (MS): A technique that ionizes chemical species and sorts the ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio. Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC): Also known as gel filtration, this technique separates molecules based on their size and shape. Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS): Used to determine the size distribution profile of small particles in suspension or polymers in solution.
