Mackenzie de la Hunty (University of Technology Sydney) demonstrates the reagent ninhydrin and its use to stain fingerprints through a chemical reaction.
100 Reactions for RACI100 is a project launched by the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI) in celebration of the Institute's centenary (#RACI100) in 2017. The series of videos aims to spark an interest and inspire enthusiasm in chemistry - a scientific discipline that plays a vital part in every aspect of our lives.

Amazing video keep it up

[@the_journey_of_my_life]

are the prints permanent
if not what could be done to make it permanent

[@Izaya_Orihara]

If the paper is preserved well, the prints should be permanent when using ninhydrin with cyanoacrylate fuming. You could also photograph the processed prints or scan it with a flatbed scanner.

My students and I are trying to do this in my forensics class, but we are not getting anything other than purple blobs. Any suggestions? We are using a 5% ninydrin solution.
