Hi................

Check out:

Journal of Chromatography, 592 (1992) 215-228

Dollinger, Cunico, Kunitani, Johnson and Jones

Practical On-line Determination of Biopolymer Molecular Weights
by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with
Classical Light-Scattering Detection

Might be able to use the technique with size-exclusion chromatography
for your purposes.

Michael,
If you only need to know 150kD species vs. everything else, size
exclusion
chromatography will do the job. A G4000SW works well for this. It is
usually not possible to assign meaningful MW's to the higher MW species
though.
