⚙️ Applications
🧪 Analytical and Laboratory Reagent
- Ninhydrin is used in qualitative analysis of proteins.
- Ninhydrin is used for detection of ammonia and primary/secondary amines. Upon reaction with these amines, ninhydrin gets converted into deep blue or purple derivatives, called Ruhemann’s purple.
- Extensively used in ninhydrin-based colorimetric assays in protein and peptide analysis and research.
- Utilized in chromatography workflows for amino acid analysis.
🔍 Forensic & Criminal Investigations
- Widely used to visualize latent fingerprints on porous surfaces.
- Non-destructive technique for crime scene investigation.
🧬 Biochemical and Clinical Research
- Used in diagnostic reagent kits for clinical labs.
- Supports qualitative and quantitative detection of amino compounds.
🏭 Food and Pharmaceutical Industry
- In QA/QC labs, ninhydrin is used to measure amino acid content in protein-rich food products, nutritional supplements, and pharmaceutical formulations. It ensures that composition standards and purities are met.
