About Ninhydrin



Ninhydrin is a poisonous crystalline solid compound primarily used in laboratories for biochemical analysis in the ninhydrin test for amino acids and in forensic science for fingerprint detection. With a bitter taste, this odorless substance is highly reactive with amino acids, forming a distinctive purple color (Ruhemanns purple). Ninhydrin is soluble in ethanol and acetone, slightly in water, and exhibits a melting point of 241C. Its reagent grade quality, purity of 98%, and a shelf life of 2 years under proper storage conditions make it a reliable choice for detecting amines and amino acids.
