We find that viscous and viscoelastic fluids are distinguishable by gauging Non-Fickian diffusion of dissolved electroactive molecules. Typically, such fluids are differentiated by measuring the mean-squared-displacement <Δr> of embedded tracer particles (~1 μm) diffusing over time (t). From the relationship <Δr>=6Dt (D=particle diffusivity), log plots of <Δr>vs.
