What is used to measure the spin of a particle?


I was wondering what is the specific system or method that is used to measure spin of a particle? e.g. In a lab what would they use to tell what a particles spin is?


P.S. I am new to stack exchange so please tell me if I formatted this wrong or need to change anything about my question. Thank you very much.
