High-Purity Reagent for Detection of Free Amino Groups in Amino Acids, Peptides, and Proteins
Atom Scientific™ Ninhydrin is a high-purity reagent-grade powder (≥99%) widely used for the qualitative and quantitative detection of free amino groups. It is a staple in biochemical analysis, chromatography, forensic science, and fingerprint development. Upon reaction with amino compounds, Ninhydrin produces a deep blue or purple color (Ruhemann's purple), enabling sensitive detection of amino acids and proteins.
Key Features
- Minimum 99% assay for high-performance analytical results
- Reacts with primary and secondary amines to form Ruhemann’s purple
- Reliable indicator in protein and peptide analysis
- Powdered form allows precise solution preparation
- Suitable for chromatography and forensic fingerprint analysis
