摘要：Recently, a novel ninhydrin reaction with cyanide has opened new ways to detect this poison in the body fluids and the environmental samples. Mainly, detection of cyanide with ninhydrin at a crime scene could be of prime interest for forensic investigators. Besides, the reaction conditions are very common, except the need to avoid oxygen and oxidizers. The ninhydrin-based assay proved to be highly sensitive and selective. Therefore, we investigate in this review the possible forensic applications of ninhydrin-based cyanide assay.
