	Ninhydrin Processing, Ninhydrin, Fingerprintig Supply, FingerPrinting Kit
		Various solutions of Ninhydrin may be used to develop latent prints on porous surfaces such as paper, cardboard, and wood.
		Ninhydrin reacts with amino acids commonly found in latent print residue to form a purple compound, yielding latent prints visible in shades ranging from reddish-purple to brownish-purple.
		If using Ninhydrin mixed in a flammable liquid at a crime scene, a full-face breathing apparatus should be worn and avoid any source of heat or spark.

	Ninhydrin - Latent print processing reagent.
		Ninhydrin is an amino acid-developing reagent that is applied by dipping, brushing or spraying.
		Development is catalyzed by the addition of heat and atmospheric water through the use of a humidity chamber to obtain a Ruhemann's Purple dye complex.
		Ninhydrin may be used as a blood enhancment technique.

	Reaction of Ninhydrin with Amino Acids
		Ninhydrin reacts with amino acids to produce a violet compound.
		Ninhydrin solution is sprayed on the paper to allow it to react with the amino acid.
		As the paper dries and is heated, the ninhydrin reacts with the amino group on the glutamic acid to produce a violet compound.

	Ninhydrin Processing
		The problem with spraying Ninhydrin solutions is that, even in a fume hood, airborne particles of Ninhydrin dust can form as the carrier evaporates.
		The simplest Ninhydrin solution to prepare is made by pouring 25 grams of Ninhydrin crystals into a gallon (or 4 liters) of solvent.
		To "paint" the document, clamp a clean cotton ball in forceps, dip the cotton ball into the Ninhydrin solution, and dab or paint the document with the wet cotton.

	NINHYDRIN: BASIC TO ADVANCED
		ABSTRACT: Ninhydrin, an amino acid reagent, may be applied to porous surfaces in a variety of solutions to develop latent finger and palm prints.
		Ninhydrin (synonym: 1,2,3-triketo-hydrindene hydrate) has been recognized since around the turn of the century as a reagent for detecting amino acids.
		From a safety standpoint, dipping the item in a tray of ninhydrin solution or painting the ninhydrin onto the surface with a cotton ball are preferable to spraying.

	Dry Ninhydrin
		The use of ninhydrin crystals carried within a solution and then applied to paper or other porous surfaces is considered a laboratory "workhorse" for many friction ridge analysts.
		Ninhydrin solutions can be mixed and carried within several different solvents—from alcohols, ketones, ethers, and alkanes, to synthesized organic-fluorine solvents—each having their own history of effective latent print development.
		In addition, this method allows for the item to be processed without being soaked in a bath of ninhydrin; thus, eliminating direct contact between the items physical characteristics and many of the caustic chemical solvents used as carriers in traditional ninhydrin formulations.

	Chemical Detection Techniques
		A ninhydrin solution of approximately 0.5% weight per volume in concentration is required to develop fingerprints on paper.
		The re-treatment of the document with the ninhydrin solution, the use of the enzyme trypsin to enhance fingerprint development, are strongly discouraged as these processes tend to increase background coloration and therefore reduce fingerprint contrast.
		To obtain the best contrast, ninhydrin developed prints should be photographed under white light with a green-yellow filter (560-580nm) fitted to the camera.

	Rhinitis caused by ninhydrin develops into occupational asthma -- Piirila et al. 10 (8): 1918 -- European Respiratory ...
		Ninhydrin (2,2-dihydroxy-1,3-indanedione or 1,2,3-triketo-hydrindene hydrate) is a chemical used in the detection of free amino and carboxyl groups in proteins and peptides.
		Allergic, immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated rhinitis caused by ninhydrin was diagnosed earlier in a 41 yr old woman working as a laboratory technician in a forensic laboratory.
		In the specific inhalation challenge it was shown that occupational asthma had also developed due to continuing slight exposure to ninhydrin.

	Advanced solvent-free application of ninhydrin for detection of latent fingerprints on thermal paper and other surfaces
		The optimized conditions for ninhydrin sublimation are 50 mg ninhydrin, 2 to 5 mbar vacuum, and 150°C heating source temperature for 30 min.
		This work presents the first known experiments of ninhydrin sublimation in vacuum to detect latent fingerprints on thermal paper.
		In this method, latent fingerprints become visible in rich detail without the background fl staining known from the application of ninhydrin solutions to thermal paper.

		Ninhydrin, (Triketohydrindane hydrate) is a chemical used to detect ammonia or primary and secondary amines.
		Ninhydrin is also used in amino acid analysis of proteins: Most of the amino acids are hydrolyzed and reacted with ninhydrin except Proline; Also, certain amino acid chains are degraded.
		Note that in order to generate the ninhydrin chromophore, the amine is condensed with a molecule of ninhydrin to give a Schiff base.

		Leucomalachite green, amido fl, and ninhydrin chemically react with components in blood to form a dark-colored dye complex and have all been used successfully on light-colored or transparent surfaces.
		Leucomalachite green and ninhydrin have low background colors but are unsuitable for non-porous surfaces as they run off, and either distort the print or fail to react before detail can be photographed.
		For instance, ninhydrin and DFO were to be used only on porous or semi-porous targets.

		The colors that are produced with ninhydrin, when correlated with the specific migration values (Rf) for each spot on specific TLC plates and using select solvent systems, greatly enhance the specificity of TLC for various drugs.
		Some of these new reagents have displayed superior properties versus ninhydrin in their sensitivity to amino acids and latent fingerprints, particularly in the fluorescence mode.
		In general, the colors obtained are very similar to the colors developed with ninhydrin, but the sensitivity of H is higher; therefore, a lower reagent concentration is required.

		Up to now, it was generally believed that no latent prints would be left when rubber gloves were worn, and that no latents could be developed on the soft pliable rubber used to manufacture such gloves.

		Ninhydrin is one of the simplest and a very commonly used reagent for development of latent fingerprints on documents and porous surfaces of similar nature.
		The ninhydrin solution is applied directly on the porous surface of the paper by spraying, by swabbing the solution on the surface, or by dipping the paper in a ninhydrin solution, followed by optionally heating it at around 100 C temperature.
		In using the sandwich method of applying ninhydrin, latent fingerprints were visualized under different conditions as age of the latent prints, concentration of reagent, type of paper, temperature for treatment and time taken to complete the reaction.

		In addition, ninhydrin analogs were altered to expand their solubility to a wider range of organic solvents.
		Previous work on ninhydrin Ninhydrin was first prepared in 1910 by the English chemist, Siegfried Ruhemann, who also investigated the formation of the violet compound (Ruhemann's Purple, or RP) produced by ninhydrin's reaction with amino acids.
		In the ninhydrin study, researchers found that some derivatives of the reagent, resulting from its reaction with higher molecular weight or "long chain" alcohols (i.e., hemiacetals), undergo the same color-forming reactions as ninhydrin, but they are substantially more soluble in organic solvents (e.g., ethyl acetate, methylene chloride, or toluene).
