A ninhydrin solution is commonly used by forensic investigators in the analysis of latent fingerprints on porous surfaces such as paper. Amino acid containing fingermarks, formed by minute sweat secretions which gather on the finger's unique ridges, are treated with the ninhydrin solution which turns the amino acid finger ridge patterns purple and therefore visible. <ref>Menzel,E.R. (1986): Manual of fingerprint development techniques. Home Office,Scientific Research and Development Branch, London</ref> |

A ninhydrin solution is commonly used by ]s in the analysis of ]s on ] surfaces such as paper. The ]s present in the minute sweat secretions that gather on the finger's unique ridges transfer to surfaces that are touched. Exposure of the surface to ninhydrin converts the amino acids into visibly colored products and thus reveals the print.<ref>Menzel, E.R. (1986) ''Manual of fingerprint development techniques''.

To further enhance the ability of ninhydrin, a solution of ] and ] (IND-Zn) can be used prior to ninhydrin. This sequence leads to greater overall reaction of the amino acids, possibly by IND-Zn helping to release them from the surface for the subsequent ninhydrin reaction.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Mangle|first1=Milery Figuera|last2=Xu|first2=Xioama|last3=de Puit|first3=M.|date=September 2015|title=Performance of 1,2-indanedione and the need for sequential treatment of fingerprints|journal=Science & Justice|language=en|volume=55|issue=5|pages=343–346|doi=10.1016/j.scijus.2015.04.002|pmid=26385717}}</ref> |

==Reactivity== |
|
The carbon atom of a ] bears a partial positive charge enhanced by neighboring electron withdrawing groups like carbonyl itself. So the central carbon of a 1,2,3-tricarbonyl compound is much more electrophilic than one in a simple ketone. Thus indane-1,2,3-trione reacts readily with nucleophiles, including water. Whereas for most carbonyl compounds, a carbonyl form is more stable than a product of water addition (hydrate), ninhydrin forms a stable hydrate of the central carbon because of the destabilizing effect of the adjacent carbonyl groups. |

Ninhydrin exists in equilibrium with the triketone ], which reacts readily with nucleophiles (including water). Whereas for most carbonyl compounds, a carbonyl form is more stable than a product of water addition (hydrate), ninhydrin forms a stable hydrate of the central carbon because of the destabilizing effect of the adjacent carbonyl groups. |
|
|
|
|
|
Note that in order to generate the ninhydrin ], the amine is condensed with a molecule of ninhydrin to give a Schiff base. Thus only ammonia and primary amines can proceed past this step. At this step, there must also be an alpha proton (H* in the diagram) for ] transfer, so an amine adjacent to a tertiary carbon cannot be detected by the ninhydrin test. The reaction of ninhydrin with secondary amines gives an iminium salt, which is also coloured, and this is generally yellow-orange in color. |
