Since Stein and Moore pioneered amino acid
chromatography in 1949,
1
Thermo Scientific Ninhydrin has
been used in amino acid chromatography advancements.
The most recent techniques and sensitive instruments
require the superb color response and a low blank that only
our Ninhydrin offers.
Our Ninhydrin is indefinitely stable and requires no
refrigeration or special care. Just keep the bottle tightly
sealed, avoiding direct sunlight and ammonia in the
laboratory atmosphere.
