CYANIDE DETERMINATION WITH A MODIFIED NINHYDRIN REAGENT USING N-ACETYL CYSTEINE IN THE PRESENCE OF HEAVY METAL IONS

Sensitive and selective, but fast and simple assays of cyanide ion in waste and natural waters, as well as in biological samples are required in case of accidental pollution with such species. Cyanide reaction with ninhydrin has been recommended for instant detection of small traces of cyanide (dete...
