Application and Effect
Ninhydrin hydrate refers to the hydrated form of ninhydrin, which is a chemical compound used in various applications. Ninhydrin hydrate is commonly used in forensic science for the detection and development of fingerprints. When ninhydrin hydrate reacts with the amino acids present in the fingerprint residue, it forms a purple or blue color. This reaction, known as the Ruhemann's purple reaction, allows for the visualization and identification of fingerprints. In addition to fingerprint analysis, ninhydrin hydrate is also used in the analysis of amino acids. It can react with amino acids and primary amines, forming a color complex that can be measured spectrophotometrically. This allows for the quantification of amino acids in various samples.Product Packing:
