Ninhydrin is a very effective reagent for paper and some other porous surfaces. It reacts with amino acids and possibly some other components in fingerprints. It produces visible latent fingerprints on surfaces such as cheques, paper documents, bank notes, wood etc.
Simple to use and cost effective as it does not require any additional light sources for examination. Reacts with blood and may be used for developing blood contaminated fingerprints. If used after DFO additional fingerprints may be developed.
Ninhydrin can be used to develop blood contaminated fingerprints on porous and non-porous surfaces. Fingerprints developed with ninhydrin can be made fluorescent by application of zinc chloride.
