A modified ninhydrin spray reagent, 3,5,-dinitrosalicylic acid-ninhydrin is
capable of developing various distinguishable colours with many of the ami
no acids on thin layer plates, The detection limits for amino acids with th
is spray reagent range from 0.1 to 1.0 mug and 0.01 to 0.8 mug under two co
nditions.
