NIN-PRINT spray canOne and five liter container with ninhydrin solution
Amino acid reagents 1, 2, 3, 4

Cat. No. B-78500
NIN-PRINT, ninhydrin solution in a spray can (CFC-free, 250 ml). Does not contain acetic acid and evaporates very fast. Inks do not run with this spray.

Cat. No. B-79000
Ninhydrin crystals (2,2-dihydroxyindan-1,3-dione), 10 grams in a brown glass bottle. For making ninhydrin solutions.

Cat. No. B-794000
Ready-to-use ninhydrin solution (1 liter container) in petroleum ether 40-60° (plus co-solvents).

Cat. No. B-794100
Ninhydrin solution (5 liter containers), same formulation as B-794000.

 

Ninhydrin developed fingerprint treated with zinc chloride (right side)

Cat. No. B-794110
Zinc chloride solution (250 ml, in MTBE/petroleum ether) for changing the color of fingerprints developed with ninhydrins and making them fluorescent (although the last is an unreliable procedure with regular ninhydrin).

Prints developed with regular ninhydrin change color from purple to orange. With white light, prints show an apparent loss of contrast, but under blue-green light (about 480 nm) they show better contrast than before. This is especially valuable with papers that have blue-green printing on them, since the printing loses contrast under this kind of lighting.
