Product Overview
Ninhydrin Solution is a specialized reagent widely used in biochemical and forensic laboratories for the detection of amino acids and proteins. This solution reacts with free amino groups, producing a characteristic blue or purple color, which aids in qualitative analysis. It is particularly useful in thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and paper chromatography for identifying amino acids. The solution is prepared under strict quality control to ensure consistency and reliability in results. It is stable under recommended storage conditions and provides clear, reproducible results when used as directed. Ninhydrin Solution is an essential tool for researchers and students working in biochemistry, forensic science, and related fields. Its high sensitivity makes it ideal for detecting even trace amounts of amino acids, ensuring accurate and efficient analysis.
